Real rookies are in their first year of the NBA. He may not be the same as a rookie out of college, but he is a rookie.
No he isn't. It's some very stupid thing that the NBA is clinging to. Guys that played already in Euroleague or Eurocup are not rookies in any way shape or form.
This is exactly what I was thinking when I was playing yesterday...they have Garcia handling the backup PG duties.
I'd like to see him get more PNRs. I think McHale has told him the same thing as Douglas - play with energy and try to be a spark. Personally I wouldn't mind seeing him play a little more even headed. He's impressed me running the PNR at the top of the key and driving to the basket. He's had a bit of tunnel vision lately, and don't like him committing those stupid fouls, but he's definitely talented.
he looked really good last night. kinda surprised. i know he hustles, defends, but showed some finishing ability with speed too.
