I will say it is interesting to see people take posters posting something good about a player as an attack on their rookie.

He has unreal scoring potential but he doesn't really know how to play basketball if you get what I mean. Building that skillset will be the key to whether he'll be a star in this league.

Giddey and Shai both have "winner" written all over them. I really hope OKC gets their "piece" this year so Presti can start putting a viable team on the floor. I'd love to see these 2 guys playing meaningful competitive basketball on well constructed rosters and Presti is robbing us of that.

He's like the biggest player in the starting lineup, so someone has to get the rebounds.

Another great game for Green. Dude is oozing with potential. Only player in the draft with a chance to be a 30 ppg scorer.

LMAO. You cappin. The one thing we "know" now from the games played is that Green is going to have to develop other aspects of his game other than scoring. But I agree that his scoring potential is high and the flashes are clear.

If you watch games there are rebounding opportunities that green cant get because he is too thin needs to learn to do it properly because of his first step he can i itiate fast break and get a lot of opportunities not only for himself but his team mates handles though much improved than before issue now is he over dribbles

Lol, case in point from a few pages ago.

Is it really just hard to admit he’s possibly a great rebounder for his position and one of the best in this class?

Especially as a few pages ago people were saying he’s not strong enough and getting pushed out of defensive situations to easily.

So which is it?

Big Yurt7 is 13p/15r in his last 6 games.

This is why I have adopted OKC. Those two are special talents man. If OKC can luck out in the lotto and get Jalen, Chet or Ivey they immediatley have a top-3 young-3 core IMO.

Surround them with defensive 3/D guys and a spark off the bench (OKC hopes that is Mann, TBD) and your looking at the best up and coming core in the West. And that is before even taking into account their pick surplus.

I think Barnes got hurt, early on in the game vs the Bucks, and was trying through it.

Van_Trump · Post #678 » by **Van_Trump** » Fri Jan 7, 2022 4:01 am

I think we can all agree this is an historic draft class.

As a Raptors fan, I was listening to a lot of whining when we passed on Suggs. Hindsight is 20/20.

Looking at Orlando's draft, they got two amazing rookies in Suggs and Wagner regardless of who was drafted where.

I remember when Toronto was really, really bad. One of the few things to enjoy was when we had a promising rookie.

This draft class we're looking at nearly twenty promising rookies. That's insane.

So whats your reasoning behind Franz winning ROM for December? It has nothing to do with record. Also, Barnes was not considerably ahead of Mobley either.

NOVEMBER
Mobley-15ppg 8rebs 2ast 2blks
Barnes- 14ppg 8rebs 4ast 1blks 1stl

Very similar numbers with a slight edge to Mobley.

Franz win ROM of DEC because both Mobley and Barnes did not play much in DEC. Mobley was among top 3 for ROM of DEC and I think he would have won it if he had played 2 more games in DEC.

At the end of NOV these were the stats of Barnes and Mobley:
Barnes : 15.4 pts, 8.1 rebs, 3.4 asts, 1.1 stls, 1.0 blks
Mobley : 14.8 pts, 8.2 rebs, 2.5 asts, 0.8 stls, 1.8 blks

As you can see above Barnes was a shoe-in for ROM of OCT & NOV but Mobely got it and the biggest reason is Mobley's team was playing much much better than Barnes's team.

The biggest reason was because Mobley had a far greater impact on the defensive end of the floor. Stop pretending it was for any other reason. ROY is not record based. That’s one of the most laughable things I’ve ever heard.

Just in denial that a PG can be a better rebounder than their rookie. I've heard one too many excuses that oh the other rookies don't have rebounders on their team so that why their rebounding numbers is better than Wagner's.....
