[WorldWarriors]

Updated with Oden's two big nights and George Hill's 20 point performance yesterday.

George Hill stepping up big time. I thought the Spurs lost their minds when they drafted him.

[Grinder]

Updated.

Let me know if I missed any.

[Mississippi]

Eric Gordon had a nice game yesterday. He dropped 25. I expect many more games like this from him with the lack of depth at the two that the Clippers have.

[lilmarcgasol]

Marc Gasol (drafted #48 in 2007)
10/29: 12 points (5-12), 12 rebounds and 2 blocks in a 71-82 loss against the Rockets.
27 points (9-11), 16 rebounds and 3 blocks in a 90-79 win over the Warriors.

This, best rookie bigman so far. Don't bring up Beasley he's hardly a bigman can't even rebound or play defense.

[Grinder]

Eric Gordon had a nice game yesterday. He dropped 25. I expect many more games like this from him with the lack of depth at the two that the Clippers have.

Right, I forgot about EG, just added him.

He needs to be getting more burn, the dude can flat out score and is athletic as hell.

[lilojmayo]

hey my most impressive thing about mayo is he is 14/14 on double doubles scoring you have to add that

and

11/7 you missed one for oj he went 8-19 with 20pts 9rebs and 4 assist almost a double double

Updated.

[RedBlackAttack]

Since there is no specific criteria in getting on this list, I'll nominate JJ Hickson for his performance tonight against OK City. His numbers aren't as good as the others on this list, but I really like what I see out of this kid. He has real potential.

Hickson - 14 points (6-12 shooting), 6 rebounds, 4 blocks, 1 assist

EDIT: Sorry... didn't see the criteria list at the bottom of the first post upon my initial viewing. Still... 4 blocks is pretty good for the rook.

[The Nets]

Brook Lopez is just incredible recently, what a steal the Nets got from their 10th pick...
:banana:

[Grinder]

I just realized I forgot DJ Augustin who's had a string of great performances since starting at point guard. 3 big games from DJ were just added.

[Rekindled]

nic batum 10 points in a quarter.

[Grinder]

Mayo builds his lead with another 30 point night.

[Kumo]

How about Nicolas Batum? he's playing consistent..

[lilojmayo]

wow greg oden 1pt tonight :roll:


mayo running away with this drose might be fast but i dont think he can keep up :bowdown:

[Grinder]

Kevin Love is the latest debutant on this list with OJ having yet another big game.

[Grinder]

A pair of number 1 picks, Derrick Rose and Greg Oden post double doubles tonight.

[inclinerator]

replace anthony morrows 11 assist as 11 rebs

[lilmarcgasol]

My main man Marc Gasol 16 pts 8 Rebounds, not great but solid especially considering when centers apparently "better" than he is get only 1 point omg roflmao:roll:

[lilojmayo]

Drose fires back anytime OJ has a great game Drose has one of his

and Drose team is winning

if Drose keeps putting up double double pts and assist he going to make it interesting

but if mayo keeps going off for 25+ give him roy

Mayo job isnt to score and pass like Rose so dont use that against him just like Kobe job isnt to pass neither was MJ it was to Put up big points get some boards and play some D

[Grinder]

Rose is catching up to Mayo quickly and his team is winning games when he puts up big numbers.

Speights missed making the list by 2 rebounds and Lopez missed another big night by 1 rebound.

[Grinder]

Russell Westbrook makes his debut on this list with a huge 30 point outburst against the Heat.

Marc Gasol and Kevin Love rack up their third big nights and move on up.

[Grinder]

Greg Oden is quickly catching up to Derrick Rose and OJ Mayo.

[Godfather]

Greg Oden is quickly catching up to Derrick Rose and OJ Mayo.

Where is the "sarcasm" in white text?

[Grinder]

Where is the "sarcasm" in white text?

I'm talking about number of games, not in quality of play...10 and 10 games are getting him on this list.

[Kiddlovesnets]

I'm talking about number of games, not in quality of play...10 and 10 games are getting him on this list.

10/10 but shoot 3-10 from the field...

It will be between Rose and Mayo. No one else will stand a chance.

[spursdynasty420]

George Hill stepping up big time. I thought the Spurs lost their minds when they drafted him.

alot of spurs fans were wondering also why we drafted him but you just gotta have faith in one of the top front offices in the league.

this kid is really good at penetrating and drawing fouls but what stands out most is his defense. that will keep his playing time up

[Grinder]

Kevin Love moves up as well as DJ Augustin.

[adamcz]

Good thread. Thanks for keeping this list.

[Grinder]

Anthony Randolph makes his debut on the list while Rose puts up another big night to avoid being in a second place tie with Oden.

Oden is quickly catching up to Rose and Mayo with his double doubles.

[kidachi]

the hell? i know Chalmers is playing like a "man of steal" right now but i didn't know he had a game with 9 STEALS. wow.

[loot]

russel westbrook had more than 1 good game:confusedshrug:

[lilojmayo]

ok im surprised nobody has called you out on your BS oden games 10pts and 10rebs isnt impressive


Oden is 7ft he suppose to get rebounds thats his job 3-10 from a 7ft big man isnt impressive he is 7ft this needs to get fixed asap

come on now this looks like Andris Biedrins numbers not outstanding performances
anytime Oden has the same number of outstanding performances you know their is a problem with your system, just like John Hollinger had to make sure MJ was the top in PER b4 he release it so he could have some credit on that 10pts 10reb get that shyt outta hear thats that
FIXed

There's a set criteria and I'm going to go with it. If I go by my judgment, there won't be consistency. So suggest a better system or GTFO.

treat this like how the NBA treats MVP voting there is no system

just do the eye test

like i didnt even watch the game but i know that 3-10 fg from a 7ft man that goes 10pts 10 rebs in not very impressive 15pts and 10 rebs is for a rookie big man 10pts and 13rebs thats impressive 10pts 10 rebs not impressive under no circumstance unless its a guard

[ALaz502]

I think a 10/10/2-3 blocks is an outstanding game for a rookie no matter how high the expectations. There are MANY veterans that don't even pull those kind of numbers.

And I'm not an Oden homer whatsoever. So STFU people.

[Kiddlovesnets]

Rob Kurz with 10pts, 2reb on 4-5 shooting within a quarter...
:wtf:

[Grinder]

ROB KURZ makes probably the most suprising debut on this list after an incredibly efficient night in an unlikely start posting 20 points (7-11; 3-3 3 pt), 7 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 blocks in a 105-123 loss to the Nuggets.

Who would have thought Kurz would have a 20 point game this season? :lol

Jason Thompson and Derrick Rose post big games with Russell Westbrook and Brook Lopez just missing out.

MAYO'S FANS IS SO ANNOYED:hammerhead:

[barbaroi]

It's kind of interesting that only 2/11 of Mayo's big performances led to wins. When Mayo doesn't perform as well the grizzlies are 6-6. Will have to see if this trend keeps up.

[loot]

DID ODEN RAPES YOUR WIFE :rolleyes:

yes or did oden screwing you mothers?

[Grinder]

Mayo and Beasley rack up big nights in a battle of the 3 and 2 draft picks this year.

[lilojmayo]

It's kind of interesting that only 2/11 of Mayo's big performances led to wins. When Mayo doesn't perform as well the grizzlies are 6-6. Will have to see if this trend keeps up.

i would say he doesnt perform well because the last 4 wins not counting to night he scored 14pts ( played ok) then 18pts 3x shooting over 50% from the field i just think when memphis wins everybody does play well so oj doesnt have to do as much

but tonight he made Wade look like a rookie dropping 28pts cant wait to c the highlights tonight on nba tv such a good game nice win

thats 5 outta 6 all i have to say is whose next

[lilojmayo]

yo grinder did you watch the heat game today, if you didnt look for highlights on nba dot com nba tv something

he made your boy Dwade look like a rookie for the first time this whole year wade didnt look like the best player on the floor.

[Grinder]

Ryan Anderson makes his debut and Chalmers racks up his 4th big night.

lilojmayo - yes I did see Mayo outplay Wade, that was impressive but don't count on it happening many more times.

[Grinder]

Gotta give props to Kevin Love, he's hit double figures in rebounding in 6 of his 7 games and 6 consecutive games. He's also had 3 games with 15 rebounds, very impressive for a rookie big.

Anyone think getting 15 rebounds despite getting under 10 points warrants a big game performance? (Same goes for 15 assists)

grinder i hate not to talk about rookies in this thread

but what the heat organization is doing to wade is pure madness, its like wade the only person on the team he has to have an A game just so they can win a B game so they can stay in a game anything less is a loss

im no GM but i should be but dont you think they should get rid of Shawn Marion ASAP, he is averaging 12pts and 8rebs and contributing to nothing IMO
but most importantly retarding the development of beasley if Shawn Marion gets traded for even a C+ legit 7ft center and expiring contracts. I think beasley can become that consistent second option that wade desperately needs.

Think about it about 90% of ppl thought Rose was going to have a mediocre rookie campaign, if hinrich didnt go down he probably would have with hinrich injured i think that actually helped rose showcase what he can do

and oj going to memphis really helped mayo

can you think oj foye mccants brewer telfair etc etc all on the team that would have seriously delayed oj progression

[Grinder]

Yeah, I can't stand the way Spoelstra pretty much relies on Wade having a monster night to get the win. Anything less than 30 points from D-Wade and the Heat are going to lose is quickly becoming the book on them.

Marion has been a shadow of himself and doesn't fit the system, I agree that they need to ship him out for a decent center, preferably a good defensive big. I think the Heat need to try to find a way to get Chris Kaman and if they can't do that, get ahold of someone like Josh Boone to hold the fort down at the 4 and try to sign Boozer in the offseason with Marion's contract out of the way.

It'd be:
Chalmers/Quinn/Livingston
Wade/Cook/Banks
Beasley/Jones/Wright
Boozer/Haslem/Diawara (more of a 3)
Boone/Anthony/Blount

With OJ - going to Memphis was really the perfect situation for him. If he was in Minnesota, he'd be told to get the ball into the post for Big Al as much as possible and probably get 3-4 fewer FGA/game. I still think the deal isn't as lopsided as it looks because Love could end up being an all star in the future and have a big impact on a winning team. Maybe not a scoring machine like Mayo, but an important starter on a playoff team.

You think Mayo can effectively play the point? If he can do that, the Grizzlies got a ton of options with the draft, they could go for guys like James Harden (doubt he'll fall to them) and DeRozan (realistic).

DeRozan stock is fallng fast but Derozan that would be nice I also crossing my figures that memphis if they dont make the playoffs can pull a bull and get a top 3 pick

We desperately need Rubio Rubio is the key, Stephen Curry would be nice also.

[Grinder]

Ricky apparently told Brandon Jennings that he probably won't declare until 2010 so it looks like teams are going to have to wait 2 years before they get the Spanish sensation.

Steph Curry's stock is going up ridiculously and teams are going to be disappointed when he gets to the NBA level. I do think Steph will be a good player but not a 20 ppg scorer. If the Grizz can't get a point guard, I would go with either Gani Lawal/Greg Monroe/Jordan Hill or Tyler Hansbrough, I don't think you can go wrong with any of these guys.

[lilojmayo]

add mayo game tonight for the first 3.5 quarters he was a beast but then fell apart with 3 tos in the last 3 mins

he was 9-15 20pts 5rebs 4 assist performance 91-84 L vs NO dec 14


Augustine had a big game tho
29pts against rose in win

maybe Jordan wasnt so dumb after all drafting augustine

[Grinder]

Big games for Derrick Rose and Brook Lopez.

Lopez puts up 22/13/5 and is making a strong case to be the starting center ahead of Greg Oden in the rookies vs. sophomores game.

Brook Lopez will beat Greg Oden and enter the all Rookie 1st team this year.

They should start both, Brook played the 4 at Stanford.

Rose/Chalmers/Augustin
Mayo/Westbrook
Beasley/Fernandez
Lopez/Thompson/Love
Oden/Gasol

Russell Westbrook has his second big game, he's had plenty of good games but only 2 so far that fit the criteria.

Russell Westbrook will have his best game of his career this coming Friday.

and also look to see the greatest performance from Derrick Rose on Tuesday.

Kosta Koufos barely misses out once again, falling just one basket short of making this list.

JJ Hickson career-high 31 minutes versus the Thunder. Sure it was versus the Thunder but all 31 of his minutes came in the same game :eek:

I'd like to add Courtney Lee to the list as it seems he's been overlooked for some reason.

[Stiff #1]

Mayo has been the best now.
How is this? The only people I've seen vote for Mayo are Lakers homers.

Didn't you notice Rose beating Mayo in the actual poll for Rookie of the Year? In case you didn't, here is the thread:

Rose wins the ISH Rookie of the Year poll (http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showthread.php?t=114702)

Rose has better overall numbers, a much better record despite having much worse teammates, is a better athlete who makes more plays that deserve to be in SportsCenter's top 10, and has come through in the clutch more often than Mayo has.

Derrick Rose is the only player who deserves to win ROY. Nobody else has been good enough to even deserve one vote.

As much as I'd love to add him, he's missing the criteria just by a few points every time mostly due to the relatively low amount of playing time compared to his rookie counterparts. Hopefully Lee can break the 20 point barrier soon, he seems like a heck of a defender from what I've seen as well.

Roy Hibbert and Kosta Koufos keep narrowly missing making the list falling just a shot or rebound short on a few occasions.

Just added big nights from Lopez and Gordon.

Ok, just thought that he would qualify considering this is all off the bench. Especially the 19 point game.

[Kebab Stall]

Just so you know, Mayo had 29 points against the Spurs in that 103-106 loss, not 20 ponts.

[Grinder]

Marc Gasol and Eric Gordon pull into a tie for fifth place while Kevin Love falls one point short of staying in fifth.

[Grinder]

Big games for Kevin Love (18/12) and Derrick Rose (22/5) tonight.

[Grinder]

Eric Gordon pulls into a tie for fourth with Brook Lopez, OJ Mayo extends his lead over the competition and Russell Westbrook keeps on moving up.

[lilojmayo]

mayo had another big night

26pts 4rebs 3 assists

so did gasol

14pts 10 rebs in a loss

[04mzwach]

Kevin Love: 16 points, 15 rebounds in 23 minutes. :hammertime:

[Grinder]

Updated with Mayo, Westbrook, Love, and Gasol.

Man, Kevin Love is really a beast at rebounding.

[Grinder]

Jerryd Bayless makes his debut.

[Grinder]

Greg Oden puts up career highs in both points and rebounds.

[GoldMedallist]

Marc Gasol 12 points 13 rebounds. Not outstanding but pretty solid.

[LebrickJames84']

Wow, Eric Gordon has been on a tear and is gaining ground on Mayo and Rose. It looks like it is not a two man race for ROY anymore.

[Grinder]

Deandre Jordan makes his debut, we all knew he had a lot of potential, but I thought he was way too raw at this stage in his career.

[Grinder]

Eric Gordon explodes for a phenomenal 41 points on just 17 shots to lead his team to a victory.

Unbelievable offensive display from EJ.

He actually got 4 assists and 2 boards though, not 5 boards.

[Al Thornton]

Eric Gordon most points by a rookie this season.:applause:

[Grinder]

DeAndre Jordan pulls down a ridiculous 20 rebounds tonight against the Warriors!

Eric Gordon and Kevin Love also post big nights.

Not really ridiculous when he was their only real big man besides Samb.

Why call him EJ? His initials are EG. :confusedshrug:

[qrich]

Why call him EJ? His initials are EG. :confusedshrug:

He's been called EJ since childhood since he is Eric Gordon Junior.


I wondered the same exact thing at first too.

Mario Chalmers:

Damn this is going to be one of the strongest draft classes in years or maybe in history! So many rookies making an immediate impact wow!:applause:

[LebrickJames84']

Damn this is going to be one of the strongest draft classes in years or maybe in history! So many rookies making an immediate impact wow!:applause:

It is going to be the GOAT draft. A lot of people don't want to admit it saying 2003> 2008. The 2003 Draft just doesn't have the depth this draft does.

I don't have time, but if you pull out 2003 rookie numbers and 2008 rookie numbers.

2008 rookie numbers sh!ts on 2003 10/10 times

2008 has 11 players averaging double figures already. There are still players that need to develope like Jason Thompson, Danilio Gallarni, Jerryd Bayless, DJ Augustine, Rudy Fernandez.

OJ Mayo and Eric Gordon have already shown the ability to average 26+ppg many times in their career.

Derrick Rose has shown the ability to be a 20pt and 10 assist guy in his career.

I can't wait to see all these guys in their prime.

[Maniak]

Is this thread still happening? Or did Grinder quit on it?

I really liked reading it. It was good.

[Grinder]

Updated.

[Grinder]

Gordon moves into a tie for third with Oden and quickly becoming a stronger contender for ROY.

[Grinder]

Kevin Love moves into third and it'll be a neck and neck race for first between Rose and Mayo.

[lilojmayo]

wow i remember this thread rose with 27 big gmaes mayo with 28 big games rose has played 66 games mayo only 64 not including the game right now.

[Grinder]

ROY race heating up between Rose, Mayo, Westbrook, Brook Lopez and arguably Love and Eric Gordon as well.

[Grinder]

Mayo pulls ahead of Rose with a 21 point performance against the Heat.

[ChiBulls7]

Mayo pulls ahead of Rose with a 21 point performance against the Heat.


uh no, Rose pulls ahead of Mayo even further with an outstanding fourth quarter in a WIN last night vs Washington on the road. It's Rose's to lose at this point.

[Maniak]

uh no, Rose pulls ahead of Mayo even further with an outstanding fourth quarter in a WIN last night vs Washington on the road. It's Rose's to lose at this point.

Even as a OJ fan, I agree.

With the Bulls making the playoffs, he is probably the most deserving.

[FIXED]

uh no, Rose pulls ahead of Mayo even further with an outstanding fourth quarter in a WIN last night vs Washington on the road. It's Rose's to lose at this point.

Rose is injured and is out for tonight's game, with a bruised wrist. x-ray were negative. His next game is thursday, he doesn't want to miss back to back games, especially in a close ROY race, Mayo looks like he might be out his funk with 12 games left for him to make his case.

[Kujo]

Rose is a lock to win ROY. I don't even think there is any debate.

[Godfather]

Rose is a lock to win ROY. I don't even think there is any debate.

Brook Lopez is a more balanced player...

[ChiBulls7]

I'm not talking about the ROY race, I'm talking about the big game count...


My bad

[ThaWarrior]

Anthony Morrow 29pts 10-11 shooting.

[Godfather]

Anthony Morrow 29pts 10-11 shooting.

:applause:

Give this mother****er some PT!

[Al Thornton]

Mike Taylor 35 pts.

[Grinder]

Updated.

Big games from Thompson, Rush (x2), Rose, Love, Westbrook, and Randolph once again highlight just how incredibly deep this rookie class is.

Rose and Mayo are once again in a tie in the big game count and it looks like Rose will inevitably come away with it since the Bulls will have at least 4 more games than the Grizzlies (playoffs).
