lillard, waiters, and beal are clearly top 3 right now
Beal and Waiters both had great Feb while Davis was injured for a couple of games. Wanna compare their whole seasons?
Beal: 14.5 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 40% fg, 1.4 stocks, 32 min a game, and a 13.84 PER
Waiters: 15 points, 2.4 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 41% fg, 1.3 stocks 30 min a game, and a 14 PER
Davis: 12. 5 points, 7.4 rebounds, 1 assist, 50% fg, 4 stocks a game, 27.7 min a game, and a 20.76 PER.
Stocks= steals + blocks
How are Waiters and Beal lightyears better exactly?

AD isn't a guard who can just dribble and shoot less efficiently and score 15-20 a game, so therefore he is not even close to being one of the best rookies. It's quite simple.

No Austin Rivers???
not legit

I think AD will end up being a solid pro, but just based on the fact he was the no brainer 1st overall pick, he hasn't really blown me away or anything like Kyrie did his rookie season. Granted I've only watched like 2-3 of his games, which is obviously a small sample.
I shouldn't even bring it up, but frick it... Greg Oden's numbers were very similar to ADs for his first real healthy stint and I bet the same Hornets fans slobbing on AD's cock, call Oden terrible and a bust.

You're bashing Hornet fans for thinking Davis is a top rookie yet you slob every and anything associated with OSU and Cleveland (see your love of Waiters)

lets examine a few other players in their 19 yr old season
Dwight Howard- 12pts 10 rebs 1.7 blks 17.2 PER
Kevin Garnett- 10pts 6 rebs 1.6 blks 15.8 PER
Chris Bosh 11pts 7 rebs 1.4 blks 15.1 PER
Amare- 13pts 8 rebs 1 blk 16.2 PER
Andrew Bynum 6pts 7 reb 1.6 blk 15.4 PER
Josh Smith 9pts 6 rebs 1.9 BLK 15.4 PER
Jermaine O'Neal 4pts 3rebs 1blk 12.7 PER
Anthony Davis 12 pts 7 rebs 1.9 blks 20.5 PER
IMo he's on a pretty good pace.

Oden's not a bust because he sucked when he was on the court.

Beal was shooting horribly early in the season. He's really turned it on in the last month or so. Over his last 8 games, he's averaging 20+ ppg on 49% shooting.
He's actually probably become the best player on the Wizards, which probably says as much about the Wizards.

Minus Aaron Craft and Braxton, I'm pretty realistic with all my favorite teams and their players. I'm not even a huge Waiters fans. I think he takes the ball out of Kyrie's hands too much. I'm just saying he's having a top rookie season.
I'd say AD is having a top 5 rookie season too. He's still been "meh" to me because I guess I just expected more from him.

As do I. I did say I think he's going to be a solid pro didn't I?
Posted on 3/2/13 at 2:04 pm to KillerNut9
Solid pro makes it sound like he'll be a solid starter. Comparing his numbers to other 19 year old big men of his ilk, he still seems to be on the path to perennial all-star. Little more than solid
Posted on 3/2/13 at 2:21 pm to KillerNut9
Well you said he hasn't blown you away, then compared him to Greg oden, which came off as another knock.
History shows he is having an exceptional year for a 19 yr old big man

Rookies that play in the post rarely dominate their first year. Let AD put some meat on those bones and work on that jump shot and he will be the best player in this rookie class in 3 years. Lillard could be very good as well.
BUT, as of now i have:
Lillard
Davis
Beal
If you dont think ADavis is a top 3 rookie right now you are silly.

thats an interesting way of grading players. Even if player A is having a better season than player B, player B is better because player A didnt play as good as you thought he would.

He reminds me of Pervis Ellison. Often injured and not a guy that you can count on.

Beal, Davis, and Drummond will be the best players from this draft.. You have to remember Beal is only 19. Lillard is and will be a stud.
Posted on 3/2/13 at 2:46 pm to Lester Earl
I knew I should have never brought up the Oden thing 
Posted on 3/2/13 at 2:49 pm to dukke v
He's played just over half a season so far. One of his "injuries" was the result of an Austin Rivers elbow to the temple.
Posted on 3/2/13 at 3:29 pm to Ryan3232
Agreed. Not to mention Davis is three years younger than lillard.

Did someone say Donatas Motiejunas?
His last three games since starting:
23 Min 11pt 6reb 2as
26 Min 13pt 7reb 5as
24 Min 17pt 3reb 1as
