Rookie impressions thread: PRESEASON/REGULAR SEASON

By the way, the guy most thankful for Bennett being in his rookie class is McLemore. If Bennett weren't epically failing, people would be talking more about McLemore as a potential bust. He's been bad.

He's a scorer. Good luck geting shots with Gay, Thomas and Cousins on your team. But yes, he has been dissaipointing. Anyway, I saw Tony Snell play, looked good. Drove to the rim a few times, made some shots and played solid defense. Like that dude, not a bad pick that late in the draft.

This kid is so holy **** amazing that you'll start watching Bucks games.

He looks really impressive. You know a player will be good if he has length/height + ball handling + athleticism, looks like he got all 3. How's his shot? If he has or can develop a jumper, then he'll be a star. Most potential out of everyone in this class, scary that he's still growing.

That was impressive. Loved that huge block, that was just nasty.

The moment Snell was drafted you knew he was going to the right coach to turn his athleticism into real defensive results. Great pick by Chicago.

I liked what I saw of him in the Summer League. But I've learned that SL performances mean virtually nothing in terms of predicting NBA success or failure.

McLemore is concerning me. Kid just hasn't shown me much, and I haven't seen improvement lately

Yep, prime example MCW. He was pretty bad in summer league.

Dipo playing awesome against the Bulls

MC Dubb

20 Points
8 rebounds
7 assist

Got the win.

Coolest man alive as he continues his ROY campaign.

InFlames · Post #1470 » by **InFlames** » Thu Jan 16, 2014 3:21 am

Oladipo with 35/4/8/3/1 in triple OT vs Chicago. Snell also looks good.

Post #1471 » by **SOUL** » Thu Jan 16, 2014 3:25 am

Only had 2 points in those 3 OT's - team went away from him, or we let him go against Noah which ended badly a few times.

Dipo showing flashes of his high potential, great night from him against the second best defense in Chicago. Could of had 40 but we decided to go away from him instead of riding the hot hand.

Great game by Dipo, and like others have said, it should have been even better but pretty much nobody but Jameer and Baby got to shoot in the overtimes. Also, I just wanted to say that Snell had a really good game as well and I was pretty impressed by him.

dont know how to embed but heres oladipo against the bulls last night:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bpy9lh4B63o

35 points (15/24) 8 assists 4 rebounds 3 steals and he hardly got the opportunity to score in most of the 4th and overtimes cause the magic tanked and went with baby and nelson for every possession at the end. anyways dipos starting to look more and more like westbrook/wade lite as the season goes on

I can't wait till we trade Nelson and Baby, those guys don't need to be playing so damn much taking all the shots. I bet if Oladipo had free reign like MCW, they would be neck and neck for ROY. BTW, no knock on MCW, I love his game. Way better than I thought he would be.

Unlike most PGs coming in recently, these two defend well too. Plus this is Vic's 1st year of playing the position, can't believe he didn't even play it in HS.

Burke playing really well tonight.

MCW struggled.

Oladipo had like 2 assists, 0 rebs, 1 point after the half. 11 FGA first half, 3 the second. I really hate our coach and vets.

Kelly Olynyk with a good line.
11/17 25 pts, 5 rbs (2 of them offensive), 7 assists, 2 steals and a block

He'will always be a bench player because his defense is ugly, but his offense is niice
