I want to talk B-ball again, shall we? So what do you guys think about those rookies thus far?

Before the season started, everyone was so hot on Durant, but after 12-13 games, I am beginning to think either Scola or even Yi is playing better.

See, the biggest thing about Durant is that he is not even taking quality shots, and be effective with his shots at all. He is averaging 17 plus shots a game, but shoots only 37%!!! That is not good.

On the other hand, Yi takes only 9 shots a game and averages over 9 ppg. And, surprisingly, in most cases he actually does wait for a good shot before taking one. Ok, I am not completely sold on him yet, but I like what I see so far.

Scola is another rookie I like. That guy can simply play, period! Sure, the Rockets look pretty dead the last few games, losing to the Lakers, Spurs, Suns and Mavs... but Scola has been pretty much the only guy playing great in those games. I watched both the Spurs and Suns games. Neither teams got no answer for that guy. Give him another year, he will develop into a VERY dependable #3 option for the Rockets.

What about Horford? Ok, I admit I only saw his highlights, but numbers don't lie. That guy is averaging 9ppg and just over 10 rpg. That is pretty good, even on a bad team!
