Haven't been keeping up with ball too much so when I saw people in this thread hyping him up and I watched him waddle up and down the court and I was like what's so special about this kid, then you see the rest of it like how agile his feet are and how coordinated his upper body is and you get it. Not to mention the touch and defensive instincts. But he's still funny to watch cuz his hips are like made out of cement lmao. He's certainly no KD in that regard but the rest of it is impressive for sure

He runs like a veloci-raptor, Even curls in the hands :lol:


so you're saying.. Mobley is destined to be a Raptors? :wink:

LoveMyRaps wrote:So the Rockets are 5-0 without Green? Hmm, interesting.

He was arguably one of the worst starters playing big mins. Green had a -20.8 NET rating and a -5.8 BPM and averaged 14ppg on 13 shots while providing embarrassingly bad defense and shot selection. It's no surprise ( to me at least) that once those mins/shots went to more productive players that they looked like a real team. I was told by some Rocket fans that it was due to them benching Theis, which I believe played a part, but it wasn't the reason for all their losing and lack of cohesiveness. Theis played and started today and they still won. Anyways Kudos on The Rockets and Christian Wood (balling out).

I dont know where to find numbers, but I feel like Sengun must be one of the best foul drawers in the league.

Also, Franz Wagner is beast, I was certain this guy has very low ceiling, but he looks legit.

Sengoat actually leads all rookies (> 100 minutes played) in BPM right now

Image

He is a very impactful dude. May not be a star guaranteed, but he is at minimum a high level contributor in the future. OKC gifting him away is comical.

Also a nice defensive play from last night from the GOAT.

i know he's a rookie but holy crap jalen green's stats:
30.8 mpg, 14.0 ppg, 3.1 rpg, 2.3 apg, 38.2/27.8/80.7 shooting splits, 49.8 TS%, -20.8/+7.9 (on/off net rating)

The only rook I don't have much faith in.
I honestly believe Suggs will be the better player of the two.

lol Sugg's numbers aren't pretty either but he's making an impact defensively at the very least. I think i agree with you, i always bank on the well rounded player even if his ceiling isn't as high as Green

This is Suggs - 27.8 mpg, 12.3 ppg, 3.4 rpg, 3.6 apg, 33.9/25.5/76.3 shooting splits, 44.4 TS%, -7.2/-11.9 (on/off net rating)

OKC doesn't need any more young players. They need future picks!

Rookie Tracker through Dec. 5. Barnes trending up, Wagner continues to fly under the radar somehow (playing in Orlando doesn't help).

I think Cade might have finally be turning his season around.

IF he keeps this up for the year he's got a case to win the ROTY
