    Stats are meaningless in the SPL but I've taken a few things from this:

    *Lillard has a great pace to his game
    *Leonard has a very solid feel for the game
    *Leonard is going to get in a few fights during his career

    You may not be a troll, but that doesn't mean you don't need to do a little more observing and a little less posting. In other words, tell SlyPokerDog to stop being a prick.

    Dude, all Bayless did was drive to the hole over and over and over. It was all he did, and half his points were from the line. Add to that, he never passed the ball. Lillard is quite the specimen. Dude looks like all muscle. He's going to be a terror next year.

    But I'm mostly surprised by Leonard. That guy is going to be good I think. Not a star by any means, but I think he's easily a solid starter.

    I like Barton, especially if he puts a little meat on his bones, but he doesn't look like he has any hops.

    I've observed for quite a while as a guest, before I decided to make an account. Otherwise, good advice.

    Where is Blaze01? Lol.

    Already knew Lillard would play like that. Like I said, zero doubt he's a good player.

    Leonard? That was a nice surprise. Very active, and also a little goofy. Reminds me of Javale McGee a little bit. Awesome.

    They were definitely the bright spots. Lillard's was jekyll and hyde in the 1st and 2nd half. Leonard had a great game too, but I think he needs to work on his moves inside. He had some trouble when he had the ball at point blank position.

    Biggest disappointment was Barton, he didn't show much IQ in this game, trying to drive and take shots that weren't there...couldn't break his man down....

    Leonard seems to be pretty freaking athletic....much more so than I realized.

    He sure is crafty. If he gets stronger those spin moves and such will be much more effective.
