You dont think he's playing Great for a rookie? especially a rookie's first games?
7 games @ 28mins, .488 FG, .531 3pt, 2 reb, 2 asists
those are pretty fucking good. Especially for a rookie whom everyone booed on draft night (i was at the Q, booing along with everyone). He has no rookie jitters, he plays some decent-good defense on top of his awesome offense stats.
Thus far, for a rookie, Waiters is GREAT.
I only commented on Gee being a great defender..which he is
He's not a great player. He's had two huge games that inflated his stats. You are premature if you are ready to say he is a top player in the NBA (aka, a great player). This isn't complex. Not only are those stats borderline unsustainable (namely due to his 3 pt percentages), but in the context of the discussion, which is how good is our team going forward, it just doesn't make sense to say we have a great player in Waiters because his first 7 games have been surprisingly good.
But we'll save it for the Waiters thread to debate whether or not he has arrived as an NBA superstar stud in his 7th game.
