Who will the next big rookie be?

[dasiegel]

Ok, so we know Davis, we know Lillard... I think Dion Waiters will probably be the next big guy to see some hype. If you think he already is and don't like that answer, I'll go with Jae Crowder even though he has limited minutes.

Terrence Ross

Alexey Shved. It's a biased opinion, but he has game.

Drummond is going to be a beast. He was one if the youngest guys in the draft and just needs a little time to get used to the faster speed of the NBA game.

he doesnt know how to shoot free throws and didnt take the game very seriously at uconn.

Shaq didn't know how to shoot freethrows, or Dwight Howard, or Ben Wallace or Place any Center Here

That is irrelevant. Taking the game seriously has to do with maturity and he will grow into that. He is actually very smart and not a head case like Demarcus Cousins yet Cousins is a pretty good player.

I like all those calls. I don't know about his work ethic but Drummond is very talented, haven't seen Shved yet. My bro went to OSU and saw Sullinger a lot, don't know if he'll be a star in this league but can see him being like a 14/7 guy like a Clarence Weatherspoon in his prime. Ross will get the chance to prove himself for sure. I think if Crowder gets the time he can be a beast while Dirk is out and I think with all the attention on Kyrie, Waiters is just gonna break out, already did 1 game.

If kyrie ever wants to do anything with his game he will first have to learn how to play defense! Watch him, he's terrible! I think Beal, MKG, Bismark......

[thepinoymamba]

Enes Kanter!
Shock therapy!
He will do damage in time.
Front runner Roy would be Damian Lillard.

[newton615]

In terms of potential I think the Thunder have 2 of the top guys in Jones and Lamb. Too bad their hobby value is going to be diminished by KD

[dasiegel]

Unfortunately for Kanter he is option 2 behind Favors who IMO is getting too little time as the number 1 guy off the bench at the big man position. They could both be beasts.

Once given the oppurtunity of playing time. Kanter will be.
Some players need to get into rhythm.
Some are perfect for coming out the bench.
Kanter needs minutes to be a beast.

Festus Ezilii!

Not really. I just like saying Festus!

[bdoody42]

Andrew Wiggins lol

[shindo03]

Lillard.... would be the doug martin of the nba hahaha....Other than the obvious such as Davis, MKG, Beal.... Hmmmm, maybe Drummond but he hasn't been putting up numbers. I think everyone's looking for Julius Randle, Jabari, Wiggins, and maybe Shabazz....I like Lillard to win ROY this year too!

Darius Miller and Anthony Davis co-ROYs!

"Darius Miller will be making his first career start in his first nationally televised NBA game tonight when the Hornets host the Sixers. The game is at 8:00 ET and will be televised on ESPN. Miller will start in place of the injured Austin Rivers. Rivers sprained his finger while not passing the ball in Tuesday’s practice. The Hornets will also be without Anthony Davis, unfortunately. Davis suffered a concussion on Friday night when he took an elbow to the head from Rivers. The replay shows Rivers’ elbow catch Davis while Rivers was attempting to play defense, something he’s not accustomed to doing. When asked about the collision after the game, Rivers took a 30 ft. contested shot and bricked it."
