    Playing on a lottery team he should have cracked the rotation and had an impact even if they were tanking and he really didn't. He's no longer a rookie, he's playing now to carve out a career and gain interest around the league. Luke Babbit is having more of an impact than Elliot and Luke hasn't tasted the playoffs either.

    I still look at him as a five but looks like Anthony Davis has set the bar high here very early. Let's see what LA has a response.

    Hopefully we don't use LA too much this season. I wanna see him get his 20/10 but on less shots and less minutes we need his silky jumpshot shooting ass at 100% for the playoffs

    LA always brings it vs the Thunder but LA won't get Davis's insane stat line.

    Not sure why we need to reduce his minutes and shots to get that. He seemed fine in the playoffs last year.

    Well, he won't be playing against the Orlando Magic, either. The Thunder may be short handed, but they are still way better than the Magic. I'm not concerned about individual stats tonight. I just want the team to take care of business and get the win.

    It's fortunate that our superstar PF isn't concerned with individual accolades for the price of team chemistry. I'm hoping he develops into a Duncan type player that will do what is required to win the ball game.

    Yeah but he also came into the playoffs fresh because of being out for awhile close to playoff time. I just don't think we can give him too big a workload from here on out in the regular season.

    Its easy for us to say he isnt concerned with individual accolades but the team does give him 15-25 shots a game every game. What would he do if he only got 10 a game for a long period of time? We can assume he would be fine with it but we never really know.

    Never said he isn't concerned with individual accolades. I said not concerned with individual accolades for the price of team chemistry! There is a big difference.

    And I think he would be fine with anything that brings this team a title. I can bet on that
