He was star struck last night. He will be alright. Just needs more confidence and a better motor. The tools are there.

:dahell:

hes averaging 12 points 4 boards shooting 45% from three and 40% from the floor in 29 minutes as a 19 year old rookie

better than rudy gay, demar derozan, tracy mcgrady, kobe byrant all did as a rookie

in the next two years he'll easily be a 20ppg
I haven't been watching him but those are awful rebounding numbers for 29mpg

You got to give him at least 2 years.

But I will say that he needs some type of killer instinct and fire in his on court demeanor

Don't draft athletic players, that's it

I'm taking players who are good shooters

Don't take those shytty dudes who get their points from cutting to the basket
You joking right:scust:

That's that Doc Rivers philosophy. We got nothing but shooters.. we need a couple of athletic wings in the worst way possible. And we need a dude that cuts to the rim to either draw a foul or dish it to a big in the paint

He's actually been playing real well, any time he's gotten minutes he's produced, had a couple real good games when Thad Young was out. Dropped 20 points in one game on good %s. His jumper has looked wet as hell for most of the season.

Idk what's wrong with these new rookies why they need years to make an impact on the game.

What I'm wondering is why is it that these new top picks need so long to have an impact? We didn't give Lebron, LJ, Alonzo Mourning, Iverson or D.Rose more recently 2 years to have a significant impact...aren't these guys supposed to be the best at their age?
