Wally has more NBA love, and apparently Blake Griff qualifies. Both will get more minutes, so... I'm guessing no such accolades will fall to Splitter.
Splitter learns the system, the 1st third of the season
Then, he starts
And its clobbering time
What do you think guys?

I hope so! That would be awesome!![]()
Did you just call John Wall "Wally"?
Are you going somewhere with this?
Depends on your reason why.
Because I'm a transexual communist. Usually.
I don't know how this reason applies here.
That's alright -- I don't know why you persist in trying to seem coy when you clearly have something you want to say.
It is funny how I was having a conversation with Culburn downstairs about a kindergarden graduation ceremony and now I am talking to you about this. That's all. Kind of hilarious once you think about it, really.
So hilarious you won't make your point, lest it be understood.
Hey, you started the controversy.![]()
By referring to a guy named Wall as Wally. I must be some kind of iconoclastic -stirrer, mustn't I?
Okay, back to basketball. I wanted to humor myself just now but it didn't work quite well. Tiago Splitter isn't going to be rookie of the year.
My top 10 rankings:
1. DeMarcus Cousins (I just like him and he gets to be a clear 2nd guy behind Tyreke Evans)
2. John Wall
3. Blake Griffin (Surrounded by scorers like Davis, Kaman, Gordon, he wouldn't get the stats.)
4. Wesley Johnson (Above Favors because he will most likely be the best scorer on the Wolves, as ridiculous as that might sound.)
5. Derrick Favors
6. Tiago Splitter
7. Ed Davis (Reason being he will get more touches than Monroe, and put up better stats)
8. Greg Monroe
9. Paul George
10. Xavier Henry/Cole Aldrich/James Anderson (Rotating in between weeks)
Griffin will get his IMO.
it's doable.. hopefully james anderson will be in ROY discussions too O.o
I'm curious what kind of minutes George will get after Granger. I think he'll adapt to the NBA well, but I just don't see the guy getting enough burn to earn consideration in the discussion. Also think Patterson has the potential to make some noise -- though he, too, will be ceding PT (to Scola).
George has repeatedly stated he wants to be a shooting guard in the NBA, and looking at the Pacers depth chart, they might as well start both George and Granger together. They got Mike Dunleavy and Dahntay Jones, who are definitely not in their future plans, so George would get more burn than you would expect him to.
Patterson, on the other hand, assuming Yao Ming is healthy and plays, would be behind in the depth chart with Scola and Hayes and Yao Ming. He would probably be fighting minutes with Jordan Hill and wouldn't see too much of playing time.
That's interesting -- wasn't aware he was trying to focus on the 2 role. If that's the case, I might even be inclined to move George higher than you have him, if only because Indiana has so little going for it offensively, otherwise.
I took into account that Brandon Rush is still on the Pacers. George would probably play about 27 minutes a night if he doesn't turn out to be a bust, backing up both Rush and Granger, if he is good enough, he takes Rush's starting role. I actually wanted the Spurs to draft him and I started hyping him up way before the draft. He ended up being on NBA team's radars too much and got drafted at 10.
I don't see how I can put George above Monroe since Monroe is definitely going to be a fixture in the Pistons lineup at the C/PF position.
Probably not ROY, but I'm hoping for him to be a Rookie Team of the Year starter.
James Anderson > Xavier Henry. He'll be at the end of the top 10 for discussions though.
No chance. Not with Wall and Blake
