6 Rookies: Good Future or Bust?

[steve]

The only thing wrong with curry is he's shooting a low percentage, he is leading all rookies in steals and I think assists as well.

He's shooting 50% from the field and 43% from three, he's just not shooting a lot at this point.

[RaininThrees]

Yeah a 20 year old rookie who has received minimal playing time at best after only 5 games in his career is a bust?

I'm sure you know by now, but around these parts if a first rounder doesn't immediately look like a HOF player, then he's a bust.

[kumquat]

Curry has been really impressive from what i've seen, really smart player. Thabeet = Bust
Mullens might be a backup

[lovethetriangle]

BJ Mullens hasn't even played yet, Hansborough is quietly averaging 13 ppg right now, how can you x them out already?

He's only played one game and scored 13 points!! hahaha "quietly averaging 13 pts" WTF are you smoking

[oballers4life]

1. Blake Griffin - All Star.
2. Hasheem Thabeet - Bust, Think DJ Mbenga at best.
3. James Harden - Borderline Starter.
4. Tyreke Evans - All Star.
5. Ricky Rubio - Bust. Will play 1 season in NBA and go back forever.
6. Jonny Flynn - All Star.
7. Stephen Curry - Definate Starter. Maybe a few All Star games.
8. Jordan Hill - Starter.
9. DeMar DeRozan - Bust. If he improves defensively, Dahntay Jones at best.
10. Brandon Jennings - All Star. Future Top 10 player.
11. Terrence Williams - Starter.
12. Gerald Henderson - 6th man.
13. Tyler Hansbrough - 6th man.
14. Earl Clark - Role Player.
15. Austin Daye - Starter.
16. James Johnson - Role Player
17. Jrue Holiday - Bust.
18. Ty Lawson - All Star.
19. Jeff Teague - End of rotation player.
20. Eric Maynor - Bust.

Thoughts?

Why?

Pretty bad analysis.

Care to explain?

Hardens lookin like a bust.

I think hes gonna end up having a Cuttino Mobley type of career in the NBA. Not quite an all star but very servicable

Thanks Nostradamus. How can you call him a bust when:
[LIST=1][*]He' s still a kid, probably the same age as the average ISH poster.[*]He hasn't played an NBA game yet?[/LIST]

[dnyk1337]

Why?



Care to explain?

Mainly because we are not even 10 games into the season, and you already have an analysis for rookies, which mind you, is a horrible analysis. DeRozan a bust? Have you even seen more than 1 game of his?

[BankShot]

For f*ck sake people. Calling someone a bust, or even contemplating whether they will be a bust, in the first two weeks of their rookie year is insanely short-sighted, and quite frankly just moronic.

[blazerjimmy]

I agree.....WAY too early......bring this back up in 5 years....funny how some of these rookies are being called busts and they haven't even PLAYED in the NBA yet!!!

['Toine=MVP]

other than Curry and Flynn I dont see any of them being nothing but busts.

that is a nice piece of writing.
