Rookie Discussion [19/20] [part I]

I'm so down on my team right now, it's hard to get excited about anything... but I'm starting to get excited about Doumbouya.

Kid can score from anywhere. If he works hard... better shape, better handle, better defense... he could be a real star. His touch from literally everywhere is really impressive, something you probably just can't teach.

Nice footwork on that left-handed layup and he runs the floor very well. First I'd seen him play but those were some nice highlights.

Since he started in January, Sekou averages 14pts (55% Fg, 42% 3's, 70%FT), 5.3reb, 1ass, 1st, 1TO and 4.3 fouls a game in 30min

He’s so good man. Changes my entire outlook on our future.

You're setting yourself up for disappointment. According to my projections, he's going to come down to Earth soon.

Sekou has a lot of Siakam in him.

I think the Pistons got a massive draft day steal here, about time something good happened in Motown. He could end up being a franchise altering level player.

Terrence Davis should have been a top 10 pick easily.

Sekou's going to be taking a spot on the poll soon.

Clarke as a rookie might be the first player ever to average 60/40/80

He's currently averaging - 63.1 / 41.5 / 80.9

MPJ in the 7 games of last 11 games when has played more of 18mpg...

23mpg, 15.6ppg (fg% 0.70, 3p% 0.60, ft% 0.75), 5.7reb, 1.4 ast, 1.0 stl, 0.9 blk

unsustainable numbers but the most pleasant surprise is that it is not a black hole in offense and in defense is very active

I hope Malone from now give him 20-25min every night

What leads you to these projections? Not saying he won’t, just curious as to how you decided that. I haven’t seen him play, but I really want to watch him soon. He got me excited because I picked him up in fantasy, but I still haven’t seen him yet.

It's amazing that he went undrafted.
Masai is the GOAT.

For those that haven't been paying attention... this is what he did this week:

RIDICULOUS.

He definitely made it sound like he looks up too him on draft night.

love the depth of this draft
next year's class looks like it's gonna be the second coming of 2000

Culver with 26/4

He's getting more and more confident each game. Still hate his shooting form

MotownMadness · Post #1858 » by **MotownMadness** » Sun Jan 19, 2020 3:39 am

Rough game from Sekou tonight. He didnt do anything to hurt the team but wasnt assertive at all.

Raps are managing his minutes in regular season (even playing infrier players ahead of him now), so that he'll be fresh for the 20 playoff games, that he'll be a super sub in.

True story, that ppl will be like... who is he?

It's that right elbow out thing. He's got to try to fix that over the summer.

Who are your top 3 bets for ROTY if Zion sits out season? (RESET)
