Chris Paul has impressed me, as did Bogut, which is way meaner than Frye, and boy, does he see the floor...
Frye is a bit too much in love with is 20ft jumper for my taste, and doesn't rebound that much, but still, he can play. Haven't seen Deron Williams play, so :|

Just one random thought: how come the Hawks selected a guy 2nd overall and their best rookie is the guy chosen 31st? :lol: I'm not quiting on Marvin Williams yet, but he looked pretty unimpressive to me. Do you think they would rather have Chris Paul now that the Joe Johnson experiment has become what everyone knew before they did? :)

Although Salim is scoring a bit more, I don't see him doing anything else but that. He's not a point guard and he can't rebound very well because of his height. Marvin on the other hand has the potential to do damage in a lot of areas. Williams's stats haven't been that great, but you have to remember he's also playing behind Josh Smith, Josh Childress, Joe Johnson and Al Harrington.

yea and bogut sucks

Where did you get the idea that this is the case? You actually have the wrong impression.


Considering Frye is getting significant playing time from a coach that normally does not play rookies much.. and he is actually helping the team out big time.

Frye is getting 2 less rebounds that Bogut, scoring 6 more ppg than Bogut, shooting way better free throws ( 82% vs 59%) in slightly less playing time. I don't think Bogut is clearly ahead of Frye with what i've said.
Oh, and these aren't just stat-padding numbers, he has worked his way pass the LArry Brown ways and become a regular in the knicks offense now.
Keep in mind Bogut is the #1 pick so he is expected to put up good numbers

I'm not entirely sure why you are directing this at me. I didn't say anything about Frye. If you look above I actually have Frye ranked above Bogut. I was just saying that he is wrong that Bogut sucks basically because he doesn't actually suck at all.

Yeah. that's what worries me :D
Salim looks very one-dimensional, but he possesses the most glaring gift lacking in the aforementioned players: a oh-so-precious reliable jump shot.

Channing Frye is putting up some sick numbers on the offensive end lately. I seen like five or more 20+ points games for him so far. Good for him that he is doing good in New York.

Bogut ain't doing bad either. Posting up double doubles and all.

Chris Paul is the one the impresses me outta all the rookies. He is working his ass off all night to lead this team. Good for him. I seen some games where he was a close to getting triple doubles.

Villanueva is a good choice too. He is shutting up the critics. He is playing hard out there for his crappy Raptors squad. He hasn't done good last three games.

Deron Williams has been doing great in Utah. He has been dishing the ball good lately and his been hitting his shots.

Everyones forgetting about Luther Head. He has been playing good when T-Mac was out. He is money from beyond the arc and the last five games, he is averaging 16 ppg, 6 rebounds and 4 assists.

Honourable Mentions :

Nate Robinson
Jose Calderon
Ike Diogu
Sarunas Jasikevicius
Salim Stoudamire
Sean May
Raymond Felton

Chris Paul is freaking amazing. I still can't believe the Hawks didn't take him over another tweener.
