Rookie impressions thread: PRESEASON/REGULAR SEASON

Pretty much all garbage time, but it still looks impressive. (Gobert)

MCW didn't really look that good against Detroit but still put up 15 points (5-15 FG, 5/5 FTs) 6 reb, 6 asst (4 TO) and 6 steals. Could easily have converted more shots at the rim as he got by Jennings very easily, but he needs to stop the YOLO pullup 3pointers. Still, you know you're good when fans are dissapointed with 15/6/6/6.

Did you see that Dipo pass to Harkless for the dunk?

It was nice.

Trey Burke with 21 and 6 assists--9/18 from the floor, 3/6 from 3-pt. Jazz beat the Rockets.

Trey Burke, the puns write itself. The guy is going to be a stud. I think it's a race between MCW and Trey for ROY.

His offence is all dunk dunks and put backs right now but the kids crazy athletic.

He might be the most athletic rookie center, but he's going to have to show more skill. Adams is almost as athletic, they're both very close, but Adams shows a better touch and off. possibilities. And I think Adams has better def. potential as well...better timing. Plus, he's three years younger than Plumlee. However, Plumlee has looked pretty good so far. Like Drummond, we'll see if he can develop a decent off. game beyond dunks.

One thing that has really impressed me about Plumlee other than being super athletic and running the floor hard, is his passing. His passing as a big man is very good and for someone selected at 22 overall he's turning out well. The fact he's playing good backup minutes is great, even if he's a career backup big man, he's playing well.

I've heard Plumlee has worked hard on his mid range game and actually has a nice jumper but he's being told to keep it simple, run the floor hard, play above the rim and work with basically put backs and rolls to the rim, Chandler on offense type of big.

With time maybe next season we'll see a few jumpers but I like the fact he is playing within rather than forcing things.

On a side topic, I love Rudy Gobert's game. I wanted the nets to get the guy so bad because his defensive potential is off the charts crazy. He needs to bulk up so he can't get bullied in the post but the raw materials are there for a stud defensive big man.

Oladipo vs MCW is incredibly entertaining.
