The NBA Rookie watch
The Blazers' three rookie draft picks are among the NBA's finest, according to the statistics, compared to other rookies of the same class. This week, Aldridge, who has played in only five games since his debut less than two weeks ago, is third in scoring (10.8 points) and second in rebounds (5.6). In addition, our Injured rookie point guard, Brandon Roy, who missed all of last week's games, is second, scoring (11.6) and third in assists (3.4). The last of the three, young point guard Sergio Rodriguez, leads all of his 06' class of rookies- in assists (3.8) despite his limited playing time.
This all bodes well for one of the league's youngest teams. I guess when three rookies get that much playing time they are bound to be in the top of somebody's list. Coach Nate is happy with the production thus far, and the front office is beaming- rightfully so!
Lets see if the smiles get bigger after the San Antonio Spurs come to Portlandtown tonight. The Spurs are a perfect 5-0 on the road thus far this season. Oh well. Someone has to stop the skid... or maybe they will crash!!
I only wish I could be there!
