    It's going to be close. I think it's like 50/50 he finishes 2nd and like 60/40 he finishes 3rd. If he keeps up his play since being back in the starting lineup, it would be complete robbery to put him 4th. Heck, since the ASG i'd put him 1b behind Towns.

    Porzingis and Okafor have certainly tailed off and Mudiay only seems to play well against the Lakers these days. He's not been as electric as D'Angelo that's for sure. It's going to be close, but if Porzingis and Okafor continue to have un-noteworthy games then it's D'Angelo's position to lose.

    How the hell is DLO ranked #6 on the rookie ladder?

    What a joke

    I tell you what...

    Now I know @therealdeal IS Byron Scott.

    Byron is not stupid (as we know from our interactions with him on the forums for the last so and so years).

    He just really wanted to win the bet.

    Since the coach won't compliment him, at least someone who had to suffer under the same guy said something nice

    D'Lo can average 20/5/5 next season. He's a special talent and it's starting to show now more than ever.

    Most 20-point games among rookies:
    1. KAT 24
    2. Okafor 23
    3. Porzingis/Russell 11

    Russell's making his move.

    Free throw shooting is a lot better since he changed up his stance.

    Posted this last night, but it's worth restating: DeAngelo has hit 112 threes. That's the 25th best mark by a rookie in NBA history. He passed Klay Thompson and Trey Burke last night. If he hits 1 per game for the rest of the season, he'll finish at 128, 17th best in da league.
