Game Day: Suns (6-16) @ Lakers (10-14), Fri 12/9/16

BTW, another bad team that can put all their negative +/- on one player is New Orleans. The Pels are -107 on the season; Buddy Hield is -119.

The Nuggs are -81. Mudiay is -162 and Nurkic is -112.

Hield was supposed to be NBA ready, but he looks awful. Just awful.

[ShelC]

Hield was another college player hyped up for the draft. Nothing more.

[Cap]

I recall that INF really liked him, but he's definitely having a rough start.

Is there anybody from that draft doing well so far?

[Split T]

Not really, been a pretty poor draft. Jamal Murray is playing the best so far. Sabonis is doing fine in okc.

Edit: According to hollingers advanced stats, there are 5 players with positive impacts from this draft.

Juan Hernangomez
Pascal Siakim
Jaylen Brown
Malcolm Brogdon
Jamal Murray

Loved Juancho in the draft if you recall. Still think Bender will be the better player in the long run. Would be cool if he could earn more than 7 minutes a game.

[Cap]

It's still early, but I'm guessing Embiid is going to be a unanimous selection for ROY. He was smart to sit out two seasons and play in a season where there's no competition for the award.
