Not as a rookie. I'd be good with 25-30 a game.

PG played great tonight. He looks like he is very comfortable and feeling confident. But being a rookie, this may pass soon, so I'm glad they're giving him more minutes now. PG's play has even let me forget the absolute disappointment I feel towards Rush.. sort of.

What really gets me is that he just doesn't turn the ball over. Despite having one or two TO's here and there, his TO totals are tiny compared to other rookies who get the ball as often as he does. Wes Johnson and Evan Turner both have much higher totals. I like PG.

Well, I hope we move Dunleavy, b/c I'm anxious to see Paul with the starters instead of Mike. I like the chemistry he has with both McBobs & DC. He reads defenses well and adjusts accordingly. But Indy's right, around 30mpg is where he, Danny, and Darren should be at, with Roy & Josh in a near-split with Jeff & Tyler.

You'd be surprised how different the conditioning is between College and NBA. More minutes and more than twice as many games. Plus rookie mistakes add up in long minutes.

35 minutes to a rookie feels like 42 minutes to a vet.

He's been the best rookie after Griffin.

I know, but what team is gonna draft him over players with a lot more potential than him? He's been good, but how good do you think he is gonna be?

Here was the top 10


I'm skipping Blake since he was technically drafted in '09. As for the rest, here goes:

1. John Wall
2. DeMarcus Cousins
3. Landry Fields
4. Paul George
5. Greg Monroe
6. Gary Neal
7. Wes Johnson
8. Ed Davis
9. Derrick Favors
10. Evan
