| Post subject: | Rookies so far |
What are your thoughts on the rookies so far? Oden- out obviously Durant- Impressed. Playing a little better than I thought he would. Scoring a lot but not shooting very well. I expect as the team around him gets a little better he's going to get a lot better Horford- Impressed. Rebounding very well right now, both offensively and defensively. Doesn't seem to have a whole lot of post moves, but actually seems to be able to hit the FT line jumper. I want to see more, looks good Conley Jr.- TBD. So far a disappointment, has been buried behind Stoudamire and Kyle Lowry. I've barely seen any of him so there's not a whole lot to say Green- Somewhat impressed. Has been rebounding OK, especially during his first start of the year the other night. Sometimes his offensive moves seem really awkward to me. I still think he'll turn out OK. It's bugging me because he really reminds me of someone and I can't place it right now Yi- Somewhat impressed. Has contributed more than I thought he would, especially considering the controversy about how many minutes would he play, would the Bucks be "forced to play him", would the Chinese government hold a gun to the Bucks head? Is kind of soft, not a lot of post game, seems to just take a lot of jumpers. Gets rebounds just because he's tall. Brewer- Disappointed. Thought he would contribute something more on an awful Timberwolves team, but strange that he isn't even seeing much minutes. Looks like a string bean, he needs to bulk up a little bit. I know he's supposed to be a good defender but I haven't seen that, and his offense has been non-existent. Wright- Disappointed. In the few minutes he's gotten, has not looked good. Reckless offensive game |

Conley's play hasn't been a surprise. They drafted him knowing he'd be a bench player this season, and more of a developmental pick. Horford's been the guy I've been most impressed with, especially on the boards. He's got to get his offensive game going, but I think that will happen over time. Durant can score, and it's shocking to see a guy come into the league, and be able to do that so well. His shooting % will rise, but that's going to take some time as his shot selection improves. |
