    Not rookies, but this contrast between the twin brothers on the Hornets (the first of whom was the starter) struck me as funny:

    He looked good again yesterday against Miami. Plays better D already than Lillard or CJ. One thing I notice about Boston; it they get matched up wrong, they will switch back very quickly. We never do that.

    Okoro must be a hell of a defender to get 34 minutes a game, cuz he doesn't do much on offense.

    Devin Vassell and Xavier Tillman have great +/- in comparatively few minutes. Vassell in particular looks like a keeper.

    Xavier Tillman also led the entire NCAA in box +/- (which is why I wanted so badly for us to draft him). I can't get too mad at this list, though, because at least none of them went to teams I really loathe, and the Hornets, Knicks and Wizards have been down so long it's about time something good happened to them. Just REALLY glad I'm not a T-Wolves fan.
