Noel passes Wiggins on rookie ladder

[ralph_i_el]

I hope he regains most of his quickness. He was a matchup nightmare when he played with Middleton and Giannis, taking up the SG, SF, & PF spots. Too big for 3s and too fast for 4s. That team should be REALLY fun next year if they come back healthy and rested.

The Bucks are going to be really nasty on defense in the future I think. Even if Jabari is a negative on D, he'll be able to switch with Middleton and Giannis because they're all long, kind of like what the Nets did last season (Deron, Livingston, Pierce, KG, and JJ could all switch on defense often because they could guard most of each other's positions at least for a bit) and the Warriors are doing with Klay, Dray, Iggy and Barnes.

Damn, really hope the kid is alright next season. I liked the guy so much at Duke that I started following the Bucks just to see how he turned out.

Who cares what the rankings say? Anyone actually watching can see Wiggins is far superior.

When did 16/4/2 on good efficiency become surpassed so easily? Plus he is already one of the best man on man defenders in the league.

13 PER, below league starter average 15 PER.

14th in DRtg on Wolves, 10th in Defensive Plus Minus, 8th in defensive win-share on the Wolves

If we are going to play the "what if this injury didn't happen game" then Embiid shits on the roty award.

You mean average efficiency?

Chicago's Mirotic is sneaking up there as well.

Niko had 25 pts 9 rebs 2 ast 2 stl 2 blk tonight

Little too late. Wiggins has it locked. 16/4/2, 44% from the field, 33% from three. Solid. Noel has been great of late, mostly on the defensive end.

Noel

Nerlens has been the superior player by a long shot since the halfway point.

It will be intriguing if this keeps up. Nerlens, with 10 points at the half tonight, then he sits with 4 minutes left in the 3rd quarter with the 76ers ahead, and he never comes back due to a "knee contusion". They're just resting him.

Flip has run Wiggins into the ground imo. He's mismanaging the minutes on that roster (subtle tank move or clueless?). I love that Nerlens has taken a leap and is playing more aggressive on offense while still bringing it on defense. His FT% and jump shooting % have both increased I think, too, post ASB.

I really love Mirotic though. He draws fouls so well for a first year guy and that's his experience showing through I suppose. He runs the floor really well, too. He's not the ROY because of what people traditionally look for in this award, but if he got Wiggins' minutes, he'd have the offensive production to have a real shot to win it imo. I still lol that Phil didn't S&T Melo to the Bulls and get him in return haha.

huh???

Weird that Gatorade would take that approach

[JtotheIzzo]

Jabari would have won it. He was THE standout rookie.

Nerlens has been consistent and has brought it on lately while Wiggins has been worse than mediocre.

Never saw you as an agenda type guy UK2K, perhaps I just never noticed you, judging by this we will now refer to the past as the 'glory days' after reading this agenda driven nonsense.

Congratulations, you are a Noob Cake, Pleeze Believe level poster now.

I am sure your parents will be proud.

Mirotic

Limited ceiling though. He's 25 already.
