I can't believe he's taken 28 shots so far... Talk about a green light

The rest of the team shooting under 40%, he was the only reason the game was even remotely in reach.

The game wasn't remotely in reach. But you are right he should've been scoring.

What is your All NBA rookie team for the year ?
Mine is
C : Towns
PF : Porzingis (can see the argument for Okafor and Turner though)
SF : Stanley Johnson
SG : Booker
PG : D'Angelo

Rookie teams don't go by position so my rookie team so far is:

Towns
Porzingis
Okafor
DLo
Booker

Too many missed games from Myles, not enough PT for Jokic, and Winslow/Stan missed the cut.

Pretty much this. The only one unsure of his position is Okafor (if he miss the rest of the season) because he only play 50 games (like Turner). Jokic makes a late push but I don't think is enough.

Okafor would make the first team long before Winslow did.

It's obvious you really like Justise Winslow. Good for you. He's not even close to being > Okafor for first team. The league is as position-less as ever. They aren't going to shoehorn in a traditional starting five for All-Rookie team.

Winslow could have a great career, not knocking him. He's on a better team. I get that too. It. Doesn't. Matter. The numbers are not even close, and this is the Rookie team. Team success isn't going to matter.

I'm drooling over DLo now. He has really turned it around.

Watching Mudiay and Booker go back and forth has been a lot of fun to watch tonight. Booker is going to be a hell of a scorer.

Watching the Suns-Nuggets game.
- I don't know what the Suns fan feel about Len.
- it has that all-star game feel that everyone going out to get their stats haha
- so easy to score in today's game when you are a shooter with handle that can attack a close out

Porzingis this march (last 4 games)
11ppg 5.5rpg 33.3FG% 1.3bpg
109 ORTG 96.9 DRTG +12Net Rtg (best for the season)
Probably his worst raw stats average this month but he surely is making it up with his per 100 possessions.

Are we really not putting Jokic who along with KAT are the only ones putting up All-Star PER numbers in the first team?

It's crazy. I was just looking at Booker's last 5 games. 28.4, 5 and 3.

Yes, it looks like people really are.

I don't know what is up with his shooting in March, but he is averaging over 13 rebounds a game, and averaged over 9 in January. Some fans are fairly high on him and some fans not so high.
