I'll say it's a toss up between Rose and Mayo. And when is the front office in Minnesota just gonna stop McHale from making draft-day deals?!? Two potential ROYs given away in the last three years?....and Whit isn't even using Miller to his abilites or giving Love the minutes he should be getting...ugh!
True enough. He doesn't have a realistic shot at ROY but its just fun to see a guy who no one's ever heard of come out of no where and bust 37 pts/11 reb and 25 pts in his first two starts. He is a one trick pony but his one trick is very, very good. Hes also shown some rebounding ability and hes got athleticism that most of the outside shooting specialists (Korver, Carroll, Kerr, etc.) don't have. He'll come down I'm sure but there's no doubting his abilities. Dude's stroke is SICK.
You can't really take him out just because you think he is going to cool off though. If the guy is puttin' up good stats and producing, why not have him in the conversation? Just because he was undrafted? He will probably fall off eventually, but I don't see the harm in mentioning his name since he has played very well lately.
Until, proven otherwise - Morrow should be in the discussion - but I can't see a jump shooter continuing to be as hot as he was for the last two games - so I expect him to naturally remove himself from the conversation... Until then - why not? And props for GSW for finding him. He might not be ROY or a super-star - but he seems like he would be a pretty decent player for a while - what a find!
Why not? Because he's played 6 games and only played well in 2 of those. I'd say that's a good reason why not. His stats are completely inflated by the two huge games he had. Outside of those two games, what has he done? To answer that...a whole lot of nothing. And for what it's worth, he came back down to earth tonight...2/9 for 7 points.
