1 Tyreke Evans
2 Stephen Curry
3 Brandon Jenning or Darren Collison (better fg% and defense than Jennings)

1. Curry is clearly the best all-around player among the rookies. He’s an astonishly good passer because he sees the floor so well. He’s the classic make-your-teammates-better type of point guard; you get open and you’ll have the ball just at the right time and the right place because he has that rare ability to see the game several steps ahead. He commits some lazy turnovers, but I think he’ll cut down on that. He’s also a tremendous shooter, and I think he’ll get better as he learns the league and the players better. What’s more, he’s really good at creating little shot openings with tricky moves, and with his quick release (must’ve learned it from dad) he doesn’t need much room. I don’t see any of the other rookies point guards being as good as he is as a passer, shooter, rebounder, ball-hawk/stealer. Plus, he moves his feet and recovers really well on defense. The kid is clearly a superstar in the making. He’s going to be a better all-around player than Nash, and that’s a two-mvp guy. I don’t think the rookie of the year race is that close.

2. As for the mvp thing: I think it’s even less close. I think Lebron’s a much better all-around player than Kobe: a much better passer who’s better at setting up teammates and takes less ill-advised one-on-one shots. Plus, he’s stronger inside, runs the court better, blocks shots, keeps improving his outside shooting. Wade is maybe the closest because he pretty much does everything too, and Miami would be nowhere without him. But I think it’s Lebron by several lengths.

I love Curry’s game, that one handed full court pass last night was a thing of beauty. I know Im biased, but he gets my ROY vote.

I do wonder at times if Curry would have the gawdy numbers if he was not on a depleted Warrior’s team. Regardless he has been amazing to watch.

Nelly, three time NBA Coach of the Year
Sloan, none

Nelly, 5 time NBA champion with the celtics as a player.
Sloan, none as a player.

Nelly and Sloan neither have a NBA championship title as a coach… but Nelly has a tile coaching the USA team to a Gold medal.

Nelly most wins as a coach… at least soon to be.
Sloan 4th most wins as a coach (he will probably pass Nelly if he continues to coach more then 4 years).

Nelly is considered a innovator to the game and coaches to his players strength. For those who don’t think he is defensive minded enough, his stint with Milwaukee where he had many wining seasons, they were known for their defense.

just compare their bios posted on NBA.com:

In any rate it is just sad in my opinion that a coach who has done a lot for the NBA and for the Warriors gets so much hate. You think he did a bad job with the warriors, we will probably end up with a better record this year then: Nets, Wolves, Wizards, Detriot, and Sacramento. How many of those teams played most of the year without their starting and backup centers and power forwards? If it wasn’t for Nelly’s style and coaching, we would probably only be a 15 win team this year.

Thats all i got to say. I am sure someone will post their hate after this, yea I am disapionted with the season, but it is not Nelly’s fault. NBA is a tough league, and the west is even harder…

Jennings-winningest rookie of the three
Evans-most 2-guard ish of the three
Curry-the best of the three

Could you imagine how much better Curry would ‘miraculously’ become in Skiles’ or Westphal’s system? Oh my god…can’t wait till Nellie leaves.

Do you think Randle will
1. get drafted?
2. make a team?
3. make a contribution?

I think he might be a #2, but more likely make a team in summer league. I personally predict he will be the next Earl Boynkins – he’s got the shot, and the nba body (altho’ a small one , quickness, free throw %, and the unflappability. So he will start slow, but when given a chance will be around a long time.

How about the other Cal seniors?

Christopher goes to Europe, J Boynkins goes to Wall Street, and I think Robinson makes somebody’s team as a glue guy. He in fact would be a perfect Nellie-ball player – the next Reggie Williams (who was the next Azibuke, …) Theo may in fact turn out to have the best career of any of them.

thanks!

Should a player that said “He wasn’t going to shoot anymore” because he was going so bad be ROY?

Like it or not have to go with the chaulk, Tyreke.
