Haha. Six signature skills for a rookie, really? Sig skills are supposed to be for elite standouts, not just because a player is kind of good at any one thing in college.


I would only assign rookies signature skills that reliably translate to the NBA and add the rest according to their performance in the league. Finisher is hard to gauge until they've had to play against bigger, tougher, and faster NBA defenses. Hustle also requires finishing after rebounding regularly in the NBA. I could spot MKG a couple of defensive signatures other than Lockdown Defender though, since he's a standout on defense. Lockdown requires shutting down premier NBA players on a semi-regular basis. I could also throw in scrapper, but 3 sigs for a Rookie is being plenty generous.

Regarding the article:

I obviously disagree with handing out Lockdowns to rookies. I also don't think Davis deserves Defensive Anchor until he shows that he really does show that he really does improve and coordinate team defense. Eraser is fine for him until then.

Thanks for adding Ross. I would have liked to see Jonas Valanciunas in the list but... oh well

If he doesn't get his tattoos on release date, he will never get them...

The insider seems to hate to update the Blazers for some reason. Still asking him to simply remove those high socks that Aldridge is wearing in the game (I don't remember him wearing those in the nba, not even a single time) but no luck (4 years and counting)

And Lillard could easily have dead eye as well and shot creator.

However I not sure rookies are getting many sig skills as this article is predicting, but It's a good read

Thanks

Not feeling Ross over Beal (who wasn't even in the top 10?). Also surprised that Thomas Robinson was excluded.

I agree. This man trippin'.

Yeah I just noticed, Rivers, Terrence Jones, Andrew Nicholson, Kendall Marshall, Terrence Ross and no Bradley Beal?

I know, but Beal should be ahead of basically all of those guys anyway IMO
