Rookies (Non-Kings)
- Thread starter kingsboi
- Start date
Well based on two preseason games from Evan Turner, can you say what the...? Just terrible performances, he might be waiting for the season to start. Favors looks pretty good based on what I've seen. Other then that, up to this point atleast, I did not see anybody else stand out. I'll be checking out more of the games to make further evaluation from there.
I'm really excited about seeing Blake Griffin this year. He has done amazing things so far this pre-season. If he is healthy then he can have an awesome year.
I do like Greg Monroe, I know he is soft but I would like to see what ends up happening with him. Also, Cole Aldrich. Being compared to Joel Przybilla isn't bad!
I thought that Evan Turner was going to be Brandon Roy. I would like to see what ends up happening with him.

Blake should be entertaining to watch for sure.
I'm not a Greg Monroe fan really so I won't be following him really. Cole Aldrich should be an interesting fit for the Thunder.
Evan Turner I feel will turn it up in the season, he might be slumping now, but he might be one of those who rookies who look bad in the preseason and look good once the season come around. On the other hand, he can look bad now and look even worse once the season comes around, so it's a dice gamble with Mr. Turner.

Looking forward to all of them. Griffin is tearing stuff up right now, even out-rebounding Kaman most nights. Clips are bringing Aminu along more slowly. Funny but I worried about Turner more before his first few pre season games- now I think he can work in the league. I actually do like Monroe, I just didn't want us to draft him before Cousins. I'm very interested to see Greg Monroe play though, and I think he'll be a good player, as well as Johnson.
Here's what I wonder- if Griffin had gone in the 2010 draft where would he have been taken? Would he have been considered a better prospect than Cousins? Favors? Wall? Also it looks like there might be a real competition for ROY- who do you all think will win it, and who will have the best rookie seasons between Wall, Griffin, Cousins and Johnson?

I think it will come down to Wall & Griffin personally. It also could be a 3 way race including DeMarcus if he gets enough minutes and starts most of the season. Wall has the ball in his hands a lot now in DC so he will be able to put up points. Griffin has tons of athleticism and strength to score inside and get plenty of rebounds, so it will be entertaining to see.
If Griffin continues to put up numbers like he has in preseason, it isnt going to be a contest.
Granted, he's going to be going up against more starters and less scrubs in the regular season...But still, dude had 17 boards against the Spurs with Duncan and Blair playing big minutes.
I dont think we're going to get back to back ROY winners. Cuz just isnt there yet conditioning wise. I wouldnt be surprised if he hits the rookie wall hard.
Methinks it'll be Griffin>Wall>>Cuz>>>>>>>>>>>The rest.
