Kyrie barely played in that game. He went 14 and 7 in 19 minutes. I was very surprised he played so little in that game. Does anybody know what the Pistons are doing with Knight? Do they want him to play point guard or shooting guard?

Brandon Knight plays primarily point guard. However, Knight moves off the ball whenever he's on the floor with Rodney Stuckey for now since Stuckey knows more of the Pistons halfcourt sets on offense. Their roles will switch later in the season once Knight gets more comfortable running the team from the point.

I think it will be Kyrie Irving. I may be a little bias being a Duke fan. I just dont see the other guys getting the minutes Irving will. On top of the fact that Cleveland sucks so Irving will be asked to do more.

Marshon Brooks. Somebody other than Deron Williams is going to have put up points, might as well be him.

Re: Who will be the rookie of the year?

meh. i've never heard the nash comparision, as nash can shoot and rubio couldn't hit the side of earth. but i've heard a lotta pistol pete comparisons. im starting to think that rubio's flair and pretty style of play have more to do with the conversation than his actual production on the court.

The Maravich comparisons piss me off to no end. The guy can't shoot any better than Shaq. I understand he has the long, floppy hair, and makes spectacular passes, but I sure hell don't see him putting up 25+ points per game throughout his career.

Exactly why I drafted him in fantasy basketball

It will probably be Kyrie, he will have to carry that team and he is starting.

Re: Who will be the rookie of the year?

I could see Marshon Brooks stepping up and average around 15 to 18 points per game, and winning it. But I still have to go with my original pick of Kyrie.

Re: Who will be the rookie of the year?

Rubio might/might not put +20 a game. Can't say for sure he won't. His shot needs work right now but plenty of time for that.

Either way with each game he grows. Give him some time before discrediting him. Good night against the Heat with a 12/12/6 line. Need to cut down the turnovers through.

Watched him tonight vs the pacers, I think once he gets a few more games user his belt he will be dangerous. He pretty much was doing what he wanted when he went for it though he didn't "take over". He will though in time

Re: Who will be the rookie of the year?

Kyrie can score, shoot, pass, play defense and rebound. Not to mention that he has some incredible ball handling skills.

I'm not saying he's already a superstar, but it's not hard to see that he will become one.

Marshon Brooks may not win rookie of the year but I believe when it's all said and done he might be the best player in this draft. This kid has got the tools to be an elite scorer in this league.

Re: Who will be the rookie of the year?

Rubio really impresses me... Been a while since we had a true point-guard rookie, I believe he will develop a decent shot later on, he is comfortable pulling up & doesn't hesitate to shoot the open 3, doesn't need work on confidence, only on shot. Rubio's passing skills are really splendid to see.

Re: Who will be the rookie of the year?

I love Rubio, those years playing Pro in Spain are playing dividends. He is a polished PG. So refreshing to see players like Cole and Rubio that have years of high level experience under their belts and can contribute right away instead of all these one and dones who end up sitting on the bench for 2-3 years in the NBA.

Re: Who will be the rookie of the year?

Kyrie. He has noticeably improved every single game so far. There are no weak points in his game, just a few that he has to work on.
Cant wait to see him go up against Deron Williams tommorow!

Re: Who will be the rookie of the year?

i've watched all the Nets games so far this season, and i think Marshon Brooks can be a serious contender on the All Rookie team. That guy can put up some points in the little time hes out there

I say Kyrie will be ROY, if not him then Kemba.
