very early.

So far, MKG, Barnes, Lillard, Waiters, Jonas V and Shved have probably been the 6 best ones so far. Davis is up there, but he's been banged up early.

Just way too early to make conclusions on some of these guys. Revisit this thread around all-star break.

The Trail Blazers looking to change the the old times of drafting the wrong playes (Bowie and Oden)... that nikka that played for the Bulls and Durant are lol'ing.

Austin Rivers and Anthony Davis will end up similar to Sean May and Raymond Felton :pachaha:

In Dallas, From Cleveland
I've been pleasantly surprised with Dion Waiters

When the Cavs took him at first I was like :snoop: Who is this guy?

But so far it looks like he is better fit than what Bradley Beal would have been.

Davis is nice but a little fragile. Rivers is one of the worst players ive ever seen in the fact he doesnt have much skills but tries to do too much. Never seen so many lost balls while dribbling:snoop: Barnes will be a beast, hes really composed for a rookie same with Lilliard. I have no idea what Thomas Robinson is supposed to be :beli: like they drafted his positionless ass cuz he had big shoulders :heh:

I'm not worried about Brad Beal... he'll start hitting his shots. He has already shown he can stuff a stat sheet and get rebounds, assists, and steals. Needs to get to the FT line a bit more but otherwise he'll get better. Beal's defense has been very good thus far.

1. New Orleans Hornets - Anthony Davis needs to bulk up to reach potential
2. Charlotte Bobcats - Michael Kidd-Gilchrist doing what they expected him to do

4. Cleveland Cavaliers - Dion Waiters Balling hard with Uncle Drew
5. Sacramento Kings - Thomas Robinson :trash:
6. Portland Trail Blazers - Damian Lillard ROY so far
7. Golden State Warriors - Harrison Barnes working out there, just needs to stay aggressive
8. Toronto Raptors - Terrence Ross
9. Detroit Pistons - Andre Drummond doing OK, won't really get much shine behind Greg Monroe tho
10. New Orleans Hornets - Austin Rivers :trash:
11. Portland Trail Blazers - Meyers Leonard
12. Houston Rockets - Jeremy Lamb D-League :sadcam: wish he wasnt part of that trade
13. Phoenix Suns - Kendall Marshall

Yes because AD's future in the league is all dependent on whether or not he can handle his OVERWEIGHT problem(s).
