Agreed. Now, I have no idea how good CJ will be. He might be amazing. But MCW is a genuine superstar.

He is showing the potential to be a superstar. He isn't a genuine superstar yet.

3 games. Have you watched him play? By the way, did Hawes travel? Can you catch a ball, take two steps forward, and shoot a J?

Come on. Last year, after ONE game against the Lakers, you could tell Lillard was for real. MCW is for real.

Not yet, but still a small sample size. Talk to me after 20 games

Watch him play. He's not playing like this by accident. Didn't you know Lillard was great after a couple games? I did.

Lillard is a star, but he's not a superstar yet. There are only a handful of superstars in the NBA.

Nate Wolters proving he can play. As I suspected.

I pimped the Wolters pick hard during the draft. He should've been a first rounder, a no-brainer in the second.

Coming back from a major knee surgery has a tendency to do that to people.

I'm calling BS on that now. He has had a year and a half... He is fine. He just doesn't trust anyone but himself even though his team is very good...

Butler, Deng, Boozer, Noah, Hinrich, Gibson, Dunleavy, and Mohammed is a good 9 man rotation. They also have Snell and Teague who could get minutes on a lot of teams IMO. He should be driving and kicking a lot more.

Meh. I like Butler a lot. Deng is whole lotta meh. Boozer is washed. Noah I like, but you can't rely on offensively. Hinrich is an okay role player. The rest you mentioned are all meh.

He hasn't played games in how long? Practicing at 100% speed is nothing like the real deal and its going to take time to re-integrate him.
I also agree that hes not getting much help on offense from the rest of the roster. Its a good roster overall but offensively no one else on that team is scaring anyone. Boozer and Deng are alright, but they're not guys who can go off and carry the team when defenses are throwing the kitchen sink at Rose. Hell of a defensive club but they're seriously lacking in shooters and a quality sidekick to protect Rose. And those are huge needs in today's NBA IMO.

He still is playing bad though... 14.3 PPG, 4.3 APG, 3.6 RPG, 5.6 TOPG, on .288% shooting

I think he played about 3 minutes before both teams went to full on garbage time lineups. He did great in garbage time and is a big reason why the final score was as close as it was, but the Warriors dominated the game and Outlaw did nothing but display why hes completely irrelevant in the NBA.
