According to this, we had three of the top 5 rookies

Oh. That explains why Gasol lead all rookies in Win Shares.

See, I don't think you understand how these stats are calculated.

 

It's not just you. I am still blown away by the fact that the Blunder are a much much better team (at least as far as win% is concerned) when Durant does not play.

Add the fact that 'ships are won on defense and the only one that seems like he can play defense on that roster is Westbrook - and this team looks like it is going nowhere fast.

 

good grief dude... reread what you wrote/what I responded to. You said..."I would point out we probably were one of the few teams that played our rookies, and playing=production to a certain point."

Compared to most draft years lots of rookies got regular run in 2008-9, not a few. Specifically, lots of them started and played similar and more minutes then Portland's stellar crop. None of the playing with a good team qualifiers you added in your 2nd were present either. There is nothing wrong with correcting a false statement.
