As John Wall came back to the Wizards off of injury the #RealDealBeal23 has showed up and has been Butta the last few weeks showing himself among others that he was worth a Top 5 Pick in the 2012 NBA Draft.
Then there is South Philly's Finest Dion Waiters of the Cavs aka Mitch Richmond 2K13 starting to get acclimated to his surroundings as well as playing with East All-Star Point God Kyrie Irving. Now you ask yourself where is the Kentucky and North Carolina Boys and are any of them in the Top 10 in Scoring in the logo as we head down the stretch?
The Top 10 Rookies Scorers in the Logo (through February 26, 2013) is sponsored by...almost done picking up ridiculous Restaurant and Motel Room Service Tabs, making PB&J Samiches, running Errands on the Road, and carrying absurd Backpacks.
The Top 10 Rookie Scorers in the Logo as we go to Press:
Note: NBA Overall Rank in parenthesis
1. DAMIAN LILLARD #RipCity 18.3 ppg (20th)
2. DION WAITERS #theQ 14.6 ppg (64th)
3. BRADLEY BEAL #WizNation 13.9 ppg (73rd)
4. ANTHONY DAVIS #HiveDriveNOLA 12.5 ppg (99th)

6. HARRISON BARNES #DUBnation 9.0 ppg (167th)
7. Michael KIDD-GILCHRIST #mikeCATS 9.0 ppg (169th)
8. KYLE SINGLER #Pistons 8.8 ppg (174th)

9. ANDREW NICHOLSON #Magic 8.2 ppg (186th)
10. TYLER ZELLER #CTownNation 8.1 ppg (187th)
The Two surprises on the list are Shved of the T'Wolves and Singler of the Pistons. Shved filled in nicely as a Combo G as he can play the point or Big Guard and has a Super-Feel for the Game. Singler actually played the 2011-12 Season in Spain as this is his 2nd Year in Professional Hoops but his 1st in the logo. The Pistons have found him minutes and part of the reason they shipped off longtime Piston Favorite Prince and former 1st Rounder Austin Daye.
Lillard continues his Scoring as he just looks the Part and plays the Part of an Seasoned NBA Point Guard.
Waiters and Beal were the Two Best Shooting Guards on the 2012 Draft Board and for the most part have not disappointed anyone.
Davis the #1 Overall has had a Bad Wheel but is starting to pick it up as we head into the Stretch of the 2012-13 season. You see glimpses of what A.D. will become and he is Garnett and Sheed wrapped up into One...high praise but real talk.
Both Barnes and MKG were the Two Best Small Forwards on the Board and they are finding their way as Barnes will make it to the Playoffs and MKG will try to see hope after his rookie season with the "Cats.
Zeller slipped out of the Lottery but I knew he would be a Solid Pick and is durable and for NAB Big that is half the battle.
