ROY Watch: Exum, Hood and other Rookies

They both looked pretty decent last night. Gordon had at least one very bad miss, but overall solid. Gotta work on his handle if he wants to play like that. I would be curious to see him in more of a face up 4 role.
 
Watched the Pelicans-Magic game yesterday. I liked both rookies of Magic.

I think Gordon will be better than "just a good player" though. He has the it factor in him. He plays determined.
 
Lot of rookies struggled tonight including Parker, Wiggins, Stauskas and Noel.
Smart and McBuckets look like they had solid games.

Stokes had a DNP.

Exum is going to be able to shoot and pass over most defenders with his size and length. The other thing I really like about this play is that he made Dwight show on the pick-and-roll. So when Gobert slipped the screen, he had an open dunk. Exum's 3-way potential really made that play happen. Nice recognition and immediate lob by Exum. That's a high-IQ play that Stockton used to make.

What was most surprising to me is that he was playing some lockdown defense for 3-4 possessions in a row...

That's mostly what I'm referring to. I was very encouraged. If he figures out defense, then we got an absolute steal.
 
During the pre season Exum's alley oops had to much time in the air where it became a jump ball ,on this alley oop it led Gobert and was more direct without the floating pass Exum did in pre season

These.
I love hood..... and pretty much the whole team really.
The loss last night didn't bring me down at all.
I have the same optimism
 
Realistically we got no horse in this race.
