    Since Mudiay decided to have his way with us last night. I decided it'd be cool to track all the rookies this year. Please feel free to post any rookie performances/stats/highlights in here so that we can follow them throughout the year!

    Jahlil Okafor- 26/7
    Emmanuel Mudiay- 17/9
    Kritaps Porzingas - 16/5
    Devin Booker 14/3
    KAT- 14/12

    Rashad Vaughn 10pnts in 12 mins 2/3 3s 1blk. That's who I will be watching most of the season. Got some star potential in Bradley Beal lite, but I still don't like him. (still bitter they didn't draft Portis that I campaigned for :p ). Will get warmer to him as the season goes on. I think he's better shooter than Booker btw already got some playing time in the opener, probably will break into the rotation by new year esp if/when Mayo is traded.

    KAT was freaking amazing.

    Russell on the other hand in his first match was awful.

    Because Randle+Okafor would've been the worst defensive bigs ever to pair up on the court.

    Did anyone here actually watch Okafor last night? I did not.
    I have very big reservations of any and every Philly players' perfomance when there is literally no talent on the court but two players.

    Kat on the other hand I can testify that looks like almost like a star already. Both defensively and offensively with some pretty impressive moves. And went against Hibbert in his debut who is a real center not some pf masquarading as a center.

    Tonight Okafor vs Gobert. I'm not going to watch (not a masochist) but it will be interesting to hear from those who will how okafor did. Because Boston's big men are perhaps the second or third weakest frontcourt in the league. Gobert and Favors on the other hand one of the strongest. How many times will he get blocked?

    Jahlil Okafor already has a top 5 low post offensive game.

    His defense and durability are in question.

    My guesses for ROY are:
    - Manny mudiay
    - Coral-Anthony Towns
    - Stanley Johnson

    I would take Towns over Davis. Call me crazy, but dude can create for himself and I predict will have a greater impact winning wise than stats galore Davis.

    In 3 years its gonna be a 3 way battle between AD, KAT and darkhorse Kristaps. Reminds of the time when KG, Dirk and Tim Duncan trifecta ruled the NBA.
