in LA. I guess he is growing through the rookie curve...this is my first time seeing him in the regular season.
The few times I've seen him, not impressed at all. He's a chucker with no conscience. Lesson #1 for him: Learn how to contribute without shooting.
He just recently dropped 15 against the Hornets for a win. Other than that, he hasn't shown much. Hopefully he can learn some discipline. He's only 19 though I have to say I'm pretty excited for my team's future. Hawes has made vast improvements on his game in his second year, our rookies Jason Thompson, Donte, and Bobby Brown have been impressive. The only complaints I have are that the bigs play too much on the perimeter(maybe Brad is rubbing off on the youngins) and the Kings are clueless on defense. Still rebuilding though so it's cool.
You have reason to be excited. The Kings have some pieces going forward. Jason Thompson seems like the real deal. He has talent and maturity. Never heard of the guy before the Kings drafted him. I don't know if Theus is your coach going forward. If your team wins enough games this season, I suppose he will stay on.
