Recently read an article about the upcoming rookie class on the Bleacher Report. Interesting, but I do disagree with one thing, at least:
"8. Roy Hibbert will average more rebounds as a Pacer rookie than he did as a Georgetown senior.
Hibbert had just five games of 10+ rebounds as a senior for the Hoyas, and I expect him to get enough playing time as a rookie to surpass that. He averaged 6.4 boards as a college senior, so this prediction could be a stretch. But, it is possible."
This is the kind of "logic" I've never understood. If a guy who's 7' 2" is outrebounded by smaller, weaker college players... Why will he suddenly transform in the NBA when he's going up against guys with talent tenacity and desire.
Silly. Here's the whole thread. Nice bits about Oden and Rudy http://bleacherreport.com/articles/33566-nba-10-bold-predictions-for-the-2008-09-rookies
