Theres no real thread regarding the rookies so might as well start one now.

Rodney Stuckey

Sammy Meija
Cheick Samb(well not really)

We can basically assume Rodney Stuckey was definetly worth the #15. He can drive and hit hisfree throws but he's got horrible shooting % from the field. Would you say stuckey was worth the Darko pick because that was essentially the trade? hard to say now.

Aaron is the entangibles guy. Solid D with a decent enough outside shot. Shane Battier 2.0.

Sammy...

Samb looks like he has a pretty shot from 15 feet. good shot blocking instinct and he's 7'2. Good shit.

I don't get to see anywhere enough of the rookies so input would be valuable. an update on them every once in a while would be good too.

Isay yea. He's gonna be a star at his position at some point. Darko never will be.

I'm not going to say that Stucky is worth the Darko pick........yet. He has shown some promise and definite skills but only in summer league and pre-season games. We'll see what happens in real games before I pass judgement. I will say that he was definitely worth the #15 pick at this point.

I have been impressed with Afflalo. He has a nice stroke and shows solid D and hustle. A definite keeper.

Meija has shown a little bit in very limited play. I would say that he has put himself in a position ahead of Dupree but that's not saying a whole lot.

Samb looks like he will end up being a nice player. He has good shot blocking instincts and really seems to try hard. As soon as he gets some experience and finds his comfort level he should be at worst a great back-up.

You can't say Stuckey is worth the Darko pick. You're comparing him to Darko, not to the #2 pick in the draft. Would anyone here have taken Stuckey at #2 in that draft? Not a chance in the world.

Its pretty clear from this photo that Stuckey will be a bust. Glenn knows why, Matt too, I would guess.

Not sure where you are going there Fool, unless you are talking about the adidas cap, which could be construed as a sign of a bust.
