Rookie Rankings - Sim 1[/u]
#1 - Patrick Patterson
Patrick Patterson finishes his first sim of BBS basketball on top of his draft class after averaging an impressive 13.1ppg at 43% from the field. Patterson, who was taken at #6 by the San Antonio Spurs is also grabbing down just over 8 and a half rebounds per game as well as blocking 1.7 shots an outing. An impressive first sim from the undersized power forward.
#2 - Demar DeRozan
Number 1 pick Demar DeRozan has not dissapointed, averaging 12 and 8 as a small forward for the New York Knicks. DeRozan is also averaging a healthy 2.1apg and 1.0spg proving that he has the ability to play multiple positions. Furthermore, DeRozan shot an impressive 85% from the free throw line and 60% from beyond the arch.
#3 - Al Farouq-Aminu
Al Farouq-Aminu, the second rookie in Miami, lived up to expectations averaging close to 12 and 7 during his first sim. The most impressive stat that has come from the first 10 days of BBS action for Aminu is his 2.3spg average. Furthermore, Aminy also averaged 2.6apg however shot the ball at a little under 40%.
#4 - Austin Daye
Austin Daye put up a lot of points in a hurry during his first stint with the Phoenix Suns. Daye recorded 9.4ppg off of 56% shooting whilst only playing 10 minutes per game. With this startling statistic under his belt, it will be interesting to see how many minutes Daye recieves in the upcoming sim.
#5 - James Anderson
James Anderson who was drafted 9th by Denver had a very solid first outing in the BBS. Anderson averaged 11.6ppg, 4.7rpf and shot the ball at 43% which solidified his number 5 ranking in this weeks rookie power poll. For the record, Anderson also averaged a credible 1.6spg as well.
#6 - Blake Griffin
Toronto's Blake Griffin also had a solid first sim averaging 10 and 5. Griffin failed to block many shots which may be a sign for the future, however the big man did shoot at a healthy 53% from the field. Griffin also averaged a steal per night during his first 10 days of BBS action.
#7 - Brandon Jennings
Number 2 pick Brandon Jennings had a hard time finding minutes behind OJ Mayo however when he did get time on the court, he put it to good use averaging a little over 7ppg whilst shooting at a very efficient 58% from the field. Jennings also dished 3 and a half dimes per game and pulled down 2.4rpg. If he can get more minutes, expect Jennings to sky-rocket up the rankings.
#8 - James Harden
Miami Heat rookie James Harden came off an encouraging first sim averaging 8 and a half points per game off of 40% shooting. Although the Heat would have been impressed with Harden's stellar training camp, what they won't be impressed with will be his 25% shooting from 3 point land.
#9 - Hasheem Thabeet
Thabeet looks to be the proto-typical big man that every team wants. In his first outing, Thabeet put up 6 and 7 along with 2.1bpg. The only down side to Hasheems very nice first sim is the fact that he shot a below average % from the field.
#10 - Darren Collison
If Darren Collison managed to keep his turnover rate down, he would probably be7 or even 8 places higher on these rankings. Collison, drafted at #10 by Cleveland averaged 10, 8 and 6 in his first sim. The one thing that has pushed him ver far down the rankings though his his whopping 4.1 turnovers per game.
