A true rookie superstar (1 Viewer)

[KingSpeed]

Check this guy out! 49 points 15 rebounds in one game. 32 points 14 assists 15 rebounds in another. That is how a superstar rookie plays.

This year's draft class? A bust all around. Best recent draft class is 2012 and our management was smart to get a good pick in that draft. The man we drafted, Damian Lillard, had 23 points and 11 assists in a win over Lakers in his FIRST game. This year's rookies? Garbage.

Are you trying to perfect the hyperbole?

 

[KingSpeed]

Excuse me. This year's draft class is actually trash.

Plot Twist: He IS Oscar.

Oscar has a fist jammed up his backside to the elbow. You'd be a grouch too.

This draft class isn't trash. Too early to say anyway.

Eric needs to be reeled in at some point

As a rookie, Geoff Petrie scored over 40 points 6 times and had another 16 games of 30+.

The next Season, Wicks had 21 games of 30+ points.

Neither went on to a great career - though injuries were Petrie's bane.

By contrast, LMA's rookie stats were pretty modest.

You have to look beyond the raw numbers. Anybody with half a lick of sense could tell LMA could play, numbers notwithstanding. By contrast, it was equally obvious Leonard was clueless.

LMA was hurt much of his rookie year, no?

Didn't LMA score 30 in 3 quarters his rookie year?

Yes he did

One 30 point game as opposed to 21 by Wicks - but you would you rather have, LMA or a prime Sid Wicks?

No, I was just saying he had a 30 point game in 3 quarters. I was playing with Lincoln logs when Wics was playing

Really? I used to like Lincoln logs. Of course now they are banned because the are too dangerous for kids these days. Some goes for erector sets.

Huh? Target, Walmart, Toys "R" Us and other stores still sell those brands.

Nowadays most toys with small pieces (like legos) have age recommendations.
