Excited to watch him this year. Good fundamentals along with a motor is a great base for a young big.

aka Greg Oden rebounds lol. JK though.

It's more that he's rebounding other guys misses, and then not being able to finish. Not much respect from the refs and could obviously get a little stronger as well. He's going to be awesome though.

Anthony Davis runs away with ROY... this guy gets fouled like it's his job. NBA is also more suited to his game.

Hey! I'm not an opinion, you're an opinion!!!

You actually were just the scapegoat for a larger problem I have with those type of assessments, specifically things I have heard people say about Lillard. I said I didn't actually watch Waiters, but from the sound of it, I don't really expect much more from any rookie.

Dion Waiters ROY

Because he's a 1 on 1 isolation player, and take's Kobe shots but doesnt have Kobe length or talent.
I'm not too hot on Rivers at all, I think Duke will be a much better team without him, cant say that about a lot of high drfat picks.

Very impressive debut by the Unibrow - 21/7 on 50% shooting against a solid SA frontcourt.

He took a ton of mid range jumpshots for some reason, really looked out of his element, and he did miss some gimmies off of offensive boards (credit that to Hibbert's length).

Lillard looked really nice in the 1st half

In reality, it really is between Lillard and Davis and I'm a huge Jonas fan...

Lillard looks like a star in the making tonight.

LMAO. I may have to quote that for hilarity.

Seriously though, Lillard is killing it. Best performance by a rookie so far in this very early season.

Malapropism · Post #780 » by **Malapropism** » Thu Nov 1, 2012 5:15 am

23/11 for Lillard. 6 turnovers though.
