NBA Rookie Rankings V

I posted this in the Rising Stars thread, but I thought this would be good fodder to discuss Brandon Knight. He's at #6 if you want to jump to him, and his efficiency numbers that are shown paint a bleak picture.

Scott Machado: A Point Guard With Vision, Even if He Needs Glasses

Scott Machado: A Point Guard With Vision, Even if He Needs Glasses

In December, dealing with dizziness, Machado went to see a neurologist and an ophthalmologist, both on the same day. To his relief, nothing appeared on the neurologist’s magnetic resonance imaging scan. But the eye doctor prescribed something new: glasses.

Machado is mildly myopic. In order words, Machado, whose court vision has helped him become the nation’s leader with 10.0 assists a game, recently discovered he is nearsighted.

"Wow, that’s actually pretty funny," Manhattan Coach Steve Masiello said. "The best point guard in the country couldn’t see. He sure doesn’t show it."

STEP AWAY FROM THE MOOSE

STEP AWAY FROM THE MOOSE

Per Terry Foster, part of what's keeping Tayshaun Prince a Piston is his role in "coaching" the youngsters. He specifically mentions Prince's role in developing Greg Monroe as a leader.

Along the way, Foster also manages to convince himself and try to convince others that Prince is an All-Star, although he's never actually managed to get to an All-Star game as anything other than a spectator. WTF Terry?
