Our Rookies.

i'm really excited about our rookies this year, and Im liking that i can watch these guys improve in the d-league.

 From the boxscores i have seen it looks like Giddens needs to learn how to get to the line. His freethrow percentage is horrible when he gets there too. That's what can keep him from getting PT. His bad free throw shooting could make him want to avoid the line and lead to soft play.

76% from the line is not that bad.

he said coming out of the draft that that was one part of his game he's looking to improve.

Wow. The Flash has some nice looking jerseys.

it is hard to say too much since it is the developmental league. but given that, at least they dont stink it up down there and they seem to be better than a lot of the other players.

who knows how good they will be? hopefully they will turn into rotation players ala tony allen. that would be fine with me.

the only reason giddens was in college for so long was becuase of his off the court problems, not his lack of ability. i think giddens has the potential to be a starter some day. and walker probably could have been if he entered the draft out of high school.

To be fair, a lot of his supposed "off court" stuff was actually immaturity on the court.

well it was not giving 100% every practice, not stepping up as a leader on the team, the stabbing incident. i'd say that those were character flaws, not lack of talent. I'm just saying he didn't play 4 years cause he sucked.

I know, I just wanted to point this out, because a lot people try to write off his issues as all "off the court" stuff that had nothing to do with basketball, when (other than the stabbing incident) they had everything to do with basketball.  This guy had a major attitude problem at times in college.  He has hopefully matured and gotten over that, but this was not some kid who just did stupid things in his spare time.
