That Lamb kid that went to Houston at #13.
He's always impressed me with his game. Don't know what it is about him, but I always thought when he gets out into the NBA he'd shine.

He's been a mini Duncan insofar showcasing incredible all-aroundness game. Which translates way better than sscoring in the summer league anyways.

Why do you dickride so much? Is Thomas Robinson your son or something? I have never understood the creepy obsessions people take up with one singular player.
Someone is "not using their head" because they don't automatically jump on your "OMG THOMAS ROBINSON TROLOLOLOLOLOLOL" bandwagon, and form an opinion of their own.

Dude, "Head" is one of his nickname when he was a kid because he had a huge head. Notice my username ? It was a joke in other words.

I'll tell you what it is about him. He's got that T-Mac smoove swag. The game just comes easy to him. You're right... he's going to explode and surprise a lot of people. He will flourish in Houston, because they desperately need his perimeter creation.

Valanciunas, Lillard, all the Houston kids, if Lin ever passes the ball. One of the Dallas picks Crowder or James will be seen as the 2nd round steal.

Thompson is fine and I don't know who the cavs should have picked ahead of him. Kanter doesn't look much better. They wanted somebody who could play NOW so Jonas was out. I don't buy into the Jonas hype anyways, i think he's highly overrated. I could be wrong of course.
I've liked what i seen out of lilliard so far, but its so damn early. Summer league means absolutely nothing. I do like Waiters over Barnes and Lamb though.

I think MKG, Lamb, Lillard, Sullinger and PJ3 will all be solid rookies. Both Lambs, in fact, and watch out for Kyle O'Quinn being a darkhorse.

my sleeper ROY pick Drummond hasn't looked so hot in summer league
MKG is the best bet to be a top 2 rookie at this point I'd say, maybe D-Wait or Lilliard (sp?) :pimp:
In order
Lillard, Beal, Lamb, Plumlee

he's not gonna bust.. no way. His floor is a decent to above average guard, and i think thats why the cavs picked him. He's a "safe" pick in that sense, although it seemed like the cavs were reaching. At the very least, he is very good at getting to the rim, he can create his own shot, and is good a creating for other players on the floor.

Jeremy Lamb is good, but he's primarily going to score on that team, probably have a 15/2/2/1 kind of season, not enough for ROY. The Rockets rooks are good, so their production would be spread out.
Lillard pretty much has the guard spot all to himself, and he has some pretty good offensive players around him in LA, Hickson, Batum & Matthews to help in the assist dept. I'm going with Lillard.

Lol. I admit, I didn't know that "Head" was his nickname. So I looked it up on the internet - nothing. So either you know him personally, or made it up. If you have the source to his nickname, by all means link it, and I will concede.
I have nothing personal against you. I just have no respect for dickriders. Cheers :cheers:

I can see Jonas V.,Jeremy Lamb and MKG having good years. Should be an interesting race.

07-19-2012, 11:40 AM
really depends on how much run each of them gets. which basically means its gonna be davis' to lose, since hes already anointed the bigman savior of the hornets and they have cleared out their roster for him to start and get a ton of minutes. Other than him and MKG, most of the other squads have depth at the position of the player (sacto and trob) where they probably wont get as much burn. well, and cleveland I guess.
Teletovic!!!!! He basically is a power forward version of Peja stojakavic, with more toughness more athleticism and can actually shoot off the dribble which is going to be the thing that separates him from most European shooters
Also watch out for shengalia. He won't make too much noise now but in about 4 years he could be one of the top four in this years draft. He is like a small forward ginoboli, less of his shooting ability and a lot more raw but the intangibles are there

how much burn will he get with the re-signing of humph? Thats the limitation for a number of these players with potential.

True. I see them giving him 20-22 minutes. The kid has the tools to be something special

Teletovic is 28 , he is in his prime and is lot better than Shengaila , Lamb , Valanciunas , Montiejunas , Davis and others that are mentiond . They might became better than him but at this point non of them is close . If given an opportunity he can be top 5 in NBA next season .

He looks pretty good, but I'm just messing around. I don't think any of the Rockets rookies will win ROY.
D-Mo still has a lot to work on but he's smooth offensively. I thin he'll have a long NBA career.
KyrieTheFuture
07-19-2012, 05:35 PM
Idk but it will most certainly be a 2 guard. Waiters, Lamb, Beal. T-Rob will be good but not the best, Davis aint ready offensively and neither is MKG, Jonas has a good shot too but I just see one of the 2 guards winning it.

07-19-2012, 06:02 PM
I wish people would stop riding Davis's jock! The guy is NOT that good! He's basically Marcus Camby 2.0 so stop acting like he's a future HOFer.
As far as who I think the best rookie will be, I think it'll either be MKG or Lillard.

I think Lilard at best will be 10/2/2 guy with a really bad percentage . He was super to high drafted just because Blazers needed a PG. And that good showing in the Summer league means nothing. Bayless was tearing up the summer league and look how he turned up once he started his nba career.

Asshole.
Look dude, I just enjoy talking about basketball to people with perspective. Whether justified or not, your constant praise of the "mini Duncan" Thomas Robinson gets you lumped together with all of the other dickriders on this site. I'm not going to call all of them out, but some of them in the past have been OJ MAYO 6'4MAMBA and Lilojmayo with OJ Mayo, or AlphaWolf with Kobe.
My original comment had nothing to do with me missing the "Head" reference, which I concede, as you have provided a sufficient source, to be a legitimate nickname. It is the fact that you directly replied to the OP, who said MKG, with "Use your head". Regardless of the reference, I translated this as "Nope, you're wrong, it's Thomas Robinson.", which would fall in line with all of the other Thomas Robinson jock-riding you do on this forum. So I decided to call you out on it. Regardless of whether you were joking, it was just another example of you disregarding someone else's opinion and spewing your own. If you responded with something along the lines of "No, MKG isn't going to be the second best, Thomas Robinson will, and here is why..." you simply said "Use your Head", which is basically saying "Nope, you're wrong, I'm right, not going to justify my answer but I am just going to tell you it and tell you that it is right."
That is why, at the time, I responded the way I did.
However, I'm sorry if I came off as a jerk. I'm generally against getting any sort of flame-war going on. Also, I did miss the joke, which led to me to incite an argument with insufficient reason. I legitimately feel like I was the much bigger asshole in this whole debate, and that was never my intention. While I don't really care what people think of me over the internet, I don't want you to feel any animosity or get your blood boiling over something so stupid - So I do sincerely apologize.
