Record breaking debut, and not against a cupcake - This was a tough game and a battle throughout. I didn't get to watch it, but his numbers are impressive: 34 points, 11 boards and 5 dimes. He's nawt bad!
He got a ton of hype with his rankings, etc., but I think some people were doubting his ability to take over as a stud right away. Maybe he doesn't "look" explosive in his game, maybe he isn't SUPER flashy ... I'm not sure the exact reasons. Maybe people just like to try to poke holes in guys that are getting tons of hype. But he obviously can hoop!
He's got that smooth yet herky jerky game I love in a PG, he just always looks in control. Much like a certain #13 I love watching, but add a bunch of height and strength.
Edit: missed putting "OT" here - mods please fix!
