13. Zach LaVine
14. T.J. Warren

Randle strength is rebounding and starting the fast break just like Lamar Odom would do.

Comparing Randle to Zach Randolph was such a joke in hindsight. Randle looks like a LO/Blake Griffin hybrid on the court.

How about Antoine Walker (minus the insane 3 pointers and penchant for horrible defense)?

Exum Debut: 29 mins, 4 points on 1 - 5 shooting, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, 1 block, 1 turnover.

Elfrid Payton: 32 mins, 4 points on 1 - 8 shooting, 2 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals, 5 turnovers.


I didn't get to watch these games but just from looking at the stats it's looking like Julius had one of the better debuts.

I'm so happy Exum didn't fall to the Lakers... there is no doubt he has major talent... but he is REALLY raw..... he would have been a big headache for us Laker fans...

I would consider Noel a rookie this year, and he is nowhere close to being a competent NBA player.

Nik stauskas

Game 1: 12pts / 2 rbs / 1 ast / 1 stl / 2 3pts / 4/8 fg. Played 24 minutes.

Game 2: 13 pts / 1 ast / 1 stl / 2 3pts / 5/6 fg. Played 26 minutes.


He is a great shooter and looks like a decent defender. He might have a klay Thompson type ceiling.

Nik looked like an NBA player in college to me. Very well rounded game and aggressive attitude.

I thought the Nugget rookies (Harris and Nurkic) looked decent against the Lakers.

They're going to let him loose. Shoot whatever he desires.

I actually think Wiggins caught a good break. He'll be able to develop his talents better with Rubio who's more of a distributor than with Irving and can be one of the Wolves' main weapons. Wiggins lacks aggression at the moment but that will grow with Rubio passing to him constantly.

I hope Randle does well. He's already showing some promise.

I agree with Wiggins catching a break, Rubio and Wiggins will put on a show for Minny fans. I saw a Wiggins dunk this morning on ESPN and be almost hit his head on the rim, the dude has super hops.
