Stauskas???

[Le Shaqtus]

Ughhhhhh

[Brokenbeat]

Well that takes him out of ROY consideration

Indeed, it does.

[outbreak]

Damn I heard he was in a boot after the game but hoped it was minor. He has played better than expected this season

If given the minutes he could have been ROY. No one's running away with it atm..

he's outplayed wiggins and parker when he played against them. he's by far the best defender from this draft.

It's been a month, there's other players more refined and NBA ready than he is who get more possessions. I imagine someone will step up and run away with it as the season goes on. I'm just happy with how Gordon was playing, he was defending really well, moving well off the ball, not taking bad shots and was shooting something like 70% on his free throws which is a big increase from the 40% he shot in college. Hit some 3s and jumpers too which shows signs he can learn to at least be a passable shooter long term which is what his game really lacked.
