Is there any question that the three best teams, in some order, were the CrotoNats, Chicago, and LA?

Who else has a serious claim at this point?

Cleveland.

Melo playing his bestl. MVP candidate.

Not with brandon Rush out, Brandon Roy near retiring again and TMac in China.

Tell you what, Splitter looks awful.

But Chandler Parsons, baby? Melo is an MVP candidate? I got 37 reasons he is not!

Bench
 
Austin Rivers 7 PPG, 2 RPG, 2.9 APG, 0.8 SPG, 31%/31%/72%
Jonas Valanciunas  8.6 PPG, 6.0 RPG, 1.2 APG, 0.9 BPG, 50%/0%/77%

John Henson 7.6 PPG, 5.2 PPG, 0.4 SPG, 1.0 BPG 61%/0%/59%

Montiejunas, Anderson have not played this year.

Shooting is getting better and just about every rookie has had an explosion of a night thus far and Faried and Ibaka are playing at near ALL-Star level of play.

The Boxers might actually not be the worst team in the CB Draft

And I will still be accepting apologies for not winning the TOTF award when these guys are fully developed in April 2013.

Eh, that's still pretty bad. Lin especially, but at the same time, that's likely tied tightly to being in a new system and James Harden looking awesome. Plus Chandler Parsons.

I'm really surprised Donutz hasn't played yet. Its not like Patrick Patterson or Cole Aldrich looks especially worthwhile. I also expected a little better from Faried (letting go of him was just not something I wanted to do, at all).

MGK looks better and better though. I do think by the time everything is said and done after the all-star break you'll see upticks for Lin and Faried, but MGK and Barnes likely have some struggles coming.

But yes, TOTF was definitely within your grasp.

Chandler Parson's mamma doesn't love him as much as you do.

You were expecting more from Faried than 13ppg, 12 rpg, 1 bpg, 54% shooting and a PER of 20?

What were you expecting? Top 10 player in the league?

What were you expecting? Top 10 player in the league?

Yeah, I was expecting around 18 points, 60% shooting, 1.5 blocks and a steal. I really thought he'd be takng the step forward to legitimate all-star

[Roy H.]

Yeah, I was expecting around 18 points, 60% shooting, 1.5 blocks and a steal. I really thought he'd be takng the step forward to legitimate all-star

Wow, high expectations.

For perspective, no player in the history of the NBA has put up that stat line (although Wilt would have if blocks were a stat).  If you take out the requirement of a steal, only two guys have:  Dwight Howard in 2010, and Artis Gilmore in 1983.

EDIT:  I had added the requirement of 12 rebounds, which I guess I made up.  If you take out that rebounding requirement, five guys have done it (without the steal):  McHale, Kareem, Shaq, Gilmore, and Howard.  Only Kareem has put up the exact criteria you listed.

[nickagneta]

Well that's some pretty hefty expectations for a second year player, IP.

Honestly, if I get 13/12/1block/55% from Faried and 18/9/3blocks/55% from Ibaka, I got say, that is probably one of the best and definitely the youngest high quality frontcourts in this league.

[ronaldo943]

Faried should be an all star this year

Maybe a little high then. I was pretty bullish on the kid, but if you put it in a historical context, yeah, probably too high.

I always think Faried is better than he is, which is already pretty good. That 60% number is what kills it, huh?

Just think, if the guy doesnt shoot a jumper, with all the put backs and dunks in transition..figured he'd have a pretty healthy FG%

Kenneth Faried should be Wilt Chamberlin- IP
