Don't forget James Harden as well.

He is playing MVP caliber again, averaging almost 39 points a game. So it will be interesting how the MVP this season goes (although it is still early). Of course, many wanted to see Luka winning because he really elevated his game this season.

But we have to see his team win though, so that the argument for him in the discussions for the MVP will be solid and legit, just saying.

this is the current rank for total point leaders rookie 2019. from the list above, I like the style of Ja Morant and Coby White. Ja Morant with good speed put on Coby White is a good shooter. unfortunately, Zion still can't play until now.

^^ Definitely, Zion's will need to adjust to NBA playing style.

I mean he can't just dunk over everyone, and experience players are going to bodied him and this could make him uncomfortable. Unless he has the mentality of Lebron James during his rookie year. So for me, Zion needs to adjust psychologically and then see where his body are going to take him in his first season.

That would be a factor. Although the individual performance is going to count big, it is doubtless another factor if you can carry your whole team and win games, and not just make high points, double double, or triple double but end up losing games anyway. Doncic may very well be a player fighting for that precious MVP award against other stars, but he needs to be consistent for the season is long. And Dallas has to record more wins. 

That's why I believe Pelicans can build his squad well, a group of young players who are so entertaining in every game.


All of us can assume this but the real reality is in the field later. We also don't know Zion's current body shape, maybe his body has changed since pre-season. I'm sure Pelicans also suggested the best for Zion.

Carmelo Anthony is finally picked up by a team! Portland Blazers actually picked up Carmelo Anthony for a non-guaranteed minimum and it is awesome that we will get to see Carmelo on the floor once again.

I know he could be literally cut down from the roster if he doesn't play well enough to stay in the team and Portland doesn't need him around if he is not going to work so dude may end up with a cut short run once again but if he could just work hard and get into a rhyme dude could actually help Portland turn things around. This dude scored 28 just 3 games before he was cut, he is still a great player and a top 20 scorer in history of NBA, why would anyone want to kick him out is beyond my understanding but also why wouldn't he get picked up right away is even more silly. Lets see how he ends his career this time.

Looks like the Barkley move worked.
I am not a fan of the kid but he is really good.
There are times when he makes a lot of errors but he explained it all quite well in an interview with ESPN.
So the question now is how he will get up.

He knows there is something terrible about him specially in the locker room.
If he can minimize the errors and somehow showcase what is good about him then he might get a better contract next time.

They announced a while ago he wont be making his first appearance in the regular season until midway through out if lucky. I cant see him getting close to becoming rookie of the year no way. I have seen nunn play and he is getting the minutes and have performed well above those who were drafted while he wasnt. So this to me is the best reason to put him at the top of the list.

That's good, at least we will see him play again. As far as I can remember, Portland is trying to get Carmelo late last year, but it's good to hear and hope that this marriage will last.


I think he was cut in Houston because they really have no use for him. Yes he play good with them, but we all know that Houston is more of a analytics team and maybe the data suggested that Carmelo is more of a liabilities.
