NBA Youth Check
11/13/13

This is something I will post at the middle of the month every month. I will be going through players that are still on their rookie contracts, and see their progress this year.

Step Foward

1.

John Wall is averaging 22.5 PPG, 4.5 RPG, 9.8 APG, and 1.5 SPG. He is shooting 46.9% from the field, but only has a 17.07 PER because of his 4.0 turnovers so far.

2.

MKG is one of the main reasons the Bobcats are 4-2 at this point. He is averaging 19.3 PPG, 7.7 RPG, 5.1 APG, 2.6 SPG, 1.6 BPG, and 54% FG%. He also has a team high 25.66 PER, which is up more than 10 points from his previous seasons 14.04.

3.

Last year, Andre Drummond proved that he could play in the NBA, and this year he was out to prove that hecould start in the NBA. So far, he has shown promise with 10.4 PPG, 11 RPG, 1.1 SPG, and 1.3 BPG.

Step Back

1.

Al-Farouq Aminu has been given a couple of years to start as a SF, but this year may be the make or break year, as the Hornets have some cap space and may add pieces to push for the playoffs. In the first 7 games, he has 4.0 PPG and 4.1 RPG with a 20% FG% and 1.45 PER in 30.1 MPG.

2.

After having his stock drop when he was coming into the draft, Harrison Barnes showed that he has NBA potential. However, he has been given more minutes this year, and is struggling to produce. His PER is 0.95 in 33.4 MPG. He is averaging 8.6 PPG and 3.0 RPG with an 26.9 FG%.

3.

This is definitely the make or break year for Evan Turner. There were some rumors of trades last year, and the rumors are coming again this year. His scoring efficiency is improving, with his FG% growing from 41.9% to 47.3%. However, he has 4.5 APG but 3.3 TOPG. His PER is also around the same as it was last year, and he isn't improving like fans and management wish he was.

The Lakers offense is suffering without Kobe Bryant, but he should be back by the end of the month. The good news is Pau Gasol is having an excellent season so far with 24.1 PPG, 10.1 RPG, 3.0 APG, and 1.8 BPG.

Game Summary
The first quarter of this game started very close, but the Timberwolves pulled ahead when the bench came in. The Timberwolves kept the game relatively close through the second and third quarter of the game. The Lakers coaching made a questionable decision by keeping Pau Gasol in with 5 fouls midway during the third. In the end, the Lakers' offense was much more effective, while the Timberwolves could not score effectively, and only had 42 FG% compared to the 53 FG% of the Lakers.

Player of the Game
The scoring was very spread out, so the player of the game goes to Steve Nash for distributing 14 assists and making the team run.

Rookie Watch
Shabazz Muhammad played 11 minutes, and showed some nice skill on the fast break, but was horrendous in the half court.

Side Note(s)
-The rotation for the Timberwolves is weirdly cluttered, and their huge lack of a center is starting to make rumors for a Timberwolves trade more frequent.

Trade Rumors
11/20/2013

1.

Since the last off season started, news emerged that Eric Gordon would most likely be moved. Will a Gordon-Turner swap happen? Rumors with the Suns may re-emerge with these rumors.
Interested: 76ers, Bobcats, Celtics, Kings, Nuggets, Suns, Timberwolves


2.

The Lakers are interested in getting some talent before this off season free agency. Gasol may be a little hard to unload because he is on his last year and there are no reassurances to him resigning. Is a Gasol-Bynum reunion possible?
Teams interested: 76ers, Bobcats


3.

The Pacers have gotten off to a bad start, and the Pacers may try to get younger while adding talent around George, Hibbert, and Stephenson.
Teams interested: 76ers, Bucks, Grizzlies, Hornets,


4.

After starting the season injured again, the Knicks want to see if there is any way to unload Amar'e Stoudemire.
Teams Interested: Bucks


5.

Evan Turner has not been able to take the giant step forward that may anticipated. He has been scoring more efficiently this season, but his PER has not improved at all. A change of scenery may be best for the 76ers and Evan Turner.
Teams Interested: Bulls, Grizzlies, Lakers, Mavericks, Nuggets, Suns, Timberwolves

Game Summary
Not much to say about this game. Right out of the gate, the Grizzlies were unable to keep up with the Pistons.Greg Monroe was able to beat out Zach Randolph in this game, and Mike Conley could not get into a scoringrhythm. When the bench came in, that was win the Pistons really pulled away. The Grizzlies were playing withBayless, Pondexter, and Daye hurt, and it was easy to tell that they weren't 100%.

Player of the Game
Rodney Stuckey was the player of the game with 29 points. He was constantly attacking of cuts and dribblepenetration, especially when he was beingcovered by Prince on a switch, or any of the Grizles bench players.

Rookie Watch
Victor Oladipo had a nice game of the defensive end. He had 3 steals and a block. On the offensive end, heshowed some nice moves to get to the rim. Hewas able to draw two fouls on drives, and was also able toshow some range by nailing the three pointer he attempted.

Side Notes
-Baron Davis had an impressive 7 assists in only 13 minutes.

Breaking News

In the games with the Clippers, Caron Butler suffered a leg injury in the fourth quarter. Tests showed that it was a torn ACL that will put him out for the season. For now, this slides Iguodala to the 3 spot and makes Crawford start.

Re: Complete 30-Team Association

11/27/13

This will be an article that will be posted for every second-to-last Wednesday of each month. It will rank the top 10 rookie at that time. Here is the first:

Current Rankings


Up to this point, the rookies this year have not had a lot of playing time. Marcus Smart, Nerlens Noel, Ben McLemore, Otto Porter, and Victor Oladipo are the only rookies that are playing over 17 minutes a game.

1. PG -- Marcus Smart -- Magic -- STEADY -- Marcus Smart is easily the best rookie to this point. He has been averaging 11.4 PPG, 3.5 RPG, 5.1 APG, and 1.7 APG as the sixth man and starter while Glen Davis has been out. His biggest weakness has been his shooting and shot selection.

2. C -- Nerlens Noel -- Bobcats -- STEADY -- Nerlens Noel has not disappointed with his expectations of being a franchise center. He is averaging a double-double per 36 minutes, but is only playing 28 mpg due to the rotation with Byron Mullens, Tyrus Thomas, Bismack Biyombo, and Nerlens Noel.

3. SG -- Ben McLemore -- Trail Blazers -- STEADY -- Ben McLemore has shown offense explosion and rebounding ability in the first month of the season. He isn't super efficient due to the inconsistent playing time.

4. SF -- Otto Porter -- Cavalierrs -- STEADY -- Otto Porter has been solid on both sides of the floor in the starting role for the Cavaliers.

5. SG -- Victor Oladipo -- Pistons -- STEADY -- Victor Oladipo has proven that his defense ability is legit. He has 1.3 SPG in only 19 MPG. He has been shooting the three ball better than people anticipated at 30%.

6. F -- Anthony Bennett -- Suns -- STEADY -- Anthony Bennett has shot an impressive 59.1 FG%. However, he is only playing 12.1 MPG and is shooting 61.5 FT%

7. PG -- Trey Burke -- Kings -- STEADY -- Trey Burke has shown that he can create and run the team, but right now, he is not playing a lot of minutes, and is baking up Darren Collison at the moment.

8. C -- Cody Zeller -- Hornets -- STEADY -- Like many of the rookies so far, Cody Zeller has been impressive when he is on the court, but are not playing major minutes at the moment.

9. C -- Alex Len -- Wizards -- STEADY -- Alex Len makes the ladder because of his 78.9 FG%, which has not only been sustained, but increased when he started playing 10+ minutes the last 6 games.

10. SG -- Shabazz Muhammad -- Timberwolves -- STEADY -- Shabazz Muhammad only makes this list because no other rookie have gotten any playing time that is enough to make the ladder. He is playing 11.5 MPG, but shooting 26.8%. He has had to games with 10+ points where he shot 6-7 and 5-8 in the two games.

Re: Complete 30-Team Association

I edited the draft class before I started and based on what I saw/read/think I lowered him a little bit.
