Don't forget the 12 rebounds and a hell of a lot of heart.

This seems strange to me.
2008 had Rose, Westbrook, Love, Gallinari, Mayo, Gordon, Ibaka, Batum
2009 had Griffin, Harden, Tyreke, Curry, DeRozan, Lawson, Jennings, Rubio
2010 had Wall, Monroe, Cousins, George, Bradley (the weakest IMO of the last 5 years)
2011 had Irving, Kanter, Valanciuanas, K Thompson, Shumpert, Faried
They have some pretty nice talent. No LeBron's but all-star calibre players.

Should become a Hall of Fame point guard with his talent and ability.
Unfortaunely as he plays for Portland I expect him to do both his knees and perhaps his back sometime in the near future.
You know, I find it really particularly funny this new trend from a certain, pack if you will, of fans trying to make snarky commentary about the Blazers injury luck. Considering Rubio's knee injury last spring, Love's broken hand off a pushup, and Brandon's ever iffy knees don't you think fans of the Timberwolves, like you are, of all people should remain quiet lest they tempt the same bad luck?

Did Kawhi Leonard drop off the face of the Earth?
And I'd blame the super friends thing on these guys meeting in the AAU.

With Marshall buried on the bench and Henson out hurt, that's been fairly easy, but I've only caught two full Warriors games, and one of those was his first game where he played like the first 5 or 6 minutes of the first quarter, came out and sat the rest of the first half, played the first 7 or 8 minutes of the third quarter and came out and sat the rest of the game.
Saw most of last night's game, as well, but that one was just weird. I didn't think he was playing poorly, but he only logged 18 minutes. Meanwhile Klay Thompson was jacking up shot after shot and barely making 1/3rd of them while playing 54 minutes.
As a UNC fan, I'm a bit biased, but I think he has good NBA potential. I've never been one to claim he could or would be a superstar or even All-Star, but I like his scoring potential. The few bits and pieces of games I've seen, I've seen flashes of that potential, but it feels like he just gets lost in the shuffle since most of his minutes come with Curry and Thompson on the floor, and they've been shot-jacking at pretty impressive rates this season.
I actually like Golden State as a good fit for him after the draft but, after seeing a few games, I'm not so sure anymore unless Jackson starts to bring him off the bench. I know it's a lot of pressure to ask a rookie to be the primary scorer with the second unit, but the game against Cleveland he seemed to really thrive in that role for a few short minutes. They went to him on the block several times and it resulted in a made basket, a drawn foul and two FT's, and an intentional foul or it would've been another two points. He's also shown flashes of being a very good penetrator and finisher. He just isn't very aggressive right now.
Really liked the minutes Zeller was giving Cleveland off the bench before he got hurt. Came at a bad time, too, since it was in the middle of his 15 point 7 rebound game.
