@jennydialcreech: McHale said he is going to have to start throwing Howard out there bc the Rockets are low on bodies. Didn't give a date, but sounds soon. @Jonathan_Feigen: As @jennydialcreech mentioned, McHale said could play Howard "pretty soon." Don't be surprised if "pretty soon" synonymous w/ 'Wednesday." Seems like a solid approach to injury recovery

I mean much like Dunleavy, Pringles, et al you have a situation where a new coach is given a lot of talent and manages to not gently caress it all up so it'll be hard to tell how good or bad Kerr is until he faces some adversity.

Along with that discussion of rookie coaches having poor sustained success, can someone explain how Avery Johnson was so successful with Dallas? I mostly think of him as an outmatched coach and there aren't a lot of people who disagree with that. Now they were a good team before and after he left but those were with 2 great coaches themselves and while it's obviously a good roster it wasn't ridiculously stacked either.

He inherited a team with good players and got them to play some defense. They'd been good for a while. Nellie laid the groundwork for that team for sure. I always felt they were built specifically to defeat San Antonio. Turns out Baron Davis can push guards he outweighs by 30 lbs around pretty easily. (Nellie knowing exactly how to attack Dirk helped a lot too) I wonder if the Jazz series would have been closer if he hadn't hosed up his hamstring.

His 3p% is kinda what's important here. If he can get that to stabilize in the 38-40 range he'll be a decent SG as a off-ball shooter, slasher and secondary ball-handler. I mean, good is a pretty strong word, but the guy's been playing better and has some promise.

How about he breaks out the 10 PER range and maybe gets into positive win share territory and we can consider him eventually being "average"

Only about 10% of rookies end up with a PER above 15 their first year, and usually those are bigs. Seriously- rookies are, on the whole, not good basketball players their first year. I mean, LaVine is not a good player, but he has made improvements. He cannot play Point Guard though, that much is clear, though he doesn't have control over where they play him.

He has nice form so he'll probably eventually be a good 3pt shooter. He has the potential yo be the best dunker ever. So if he starts jacking up 30 ft shots and dunks and never shoots anything else, he'll be my favorite player of alltime. From an entertainment standpoint.

Zach LaVine is a 19 year old rookie with lots of raw talent and not much actual game time no poo poo he isn't good now. That doesn't mean he won't be in a year or two (it also doesn't mean he will be) jesus christ just enjoy the cool basketballman shots that led his team to an OT win

I mean, playing PG when he shouldn't be is going to increase his turnovers and gently caress his advanced stats, but out of the < 100 teenagers who've played in the league, LaVine is one of the most inefficient by a few different metrics. Also Wiggins' current 13.0 PER would be good enough for 2nd Worst ROTY PER ever after the guy who won in 1958, whlie his .29 WS/48 would make him 5th worst ROTY after 3 dudes from 1958-80 and MCW. I guess I can mostly take this to mean that the Wolves are real bad this year. In other news, since All-Star Break, the Spurs are allowing fewer Opp 3PA than any other team, although their Opp3P% is leading the league. Assuming what we've seen recently with Opp3P% being as purely variable (if not moreso) as OppFT% holds true in this case, they might be in even better shape for the playoffs than we're figuring already. GSW is right down there with not allowing 3PAs either. I'd very much like to see a Spurs/GSW series.

shouldn't we take the steadily decreasing rookie performance to be indicative of a larger gap between NBA level athletes and amateurs than existed in the past. I think the league as a whole takes things a lot more seriously than it used to so it stands to reason that the growing pains today would be greater than they used to be. e: the last genuinely good 'true rookie' was chris paul (griffin had a year to adjust to the nba)

I was thinking something similar, a more competitive league's going to mean more inefficient numbers upon acclimation, but I'm not sure the numbers quite match up to that--plus you could also assume that along those lines the rookies should be getting better like the league--plus population growth and better scouting means you have a way bigger pool to draw from. My guess is that the three years of college that top prospects usually had before entering the NBA is affecting rookie efficiency more than overall league quality--you're going to be more inefficient if you're entering the league without experience, and all the one-and-dones are young compared to previous top prospects. With that said, Kyrie Irving was 19 and completely sick just a few years ago when he won ROTY, and Kyrie, Durant and LeBron are the only 19 year olds to win it so far. Generational talent will still shine, you just don't get it every year.

I'm not sure how much "adjusting" Griffen got to do after he was drafted then sat for a year. He was injured and likely not traveling with the team, or practicing with them, so he wouldn't have gotten that experience, which I feel is a big part of the difference between college and the pros. The other stuff I agree with tho. NBA schemes on both sides of the ball are just much more complex than college these days; it's not surprising that rookies struggle to learn it all. It's a different style of play, nearly a different sport.

So did Durant, his was one of the most inefficient ROTY seasons ever--but again that's all three 19 year old ROTYs right there. I don't got a problem with the overall point, but, I mean, MCW was 22 and the draft class didn't have immediately shining stars.
