SQUEEZE the ORANGE "ROOK Talk"...led by D.L. of #BLAZERMania and ANT DAVIS of formerly HIVE DRIVE NOLA now PELICAN Nation...the 2012-13 All-NBA "ROOK grab my BAGS" Squad...NBA ALL-ROOKIE Team #ButteredPopcornIsInMyWHIP

The 2012-13 All-Logo Rookie Team was announced and there were no surprises as this Rookie Class has a chance and showed flashes of greatness from a few players. The Class was filled with a dynamic Point Guard from a Small School that went #6 in the Draft and many said before the Draft that playing lesser comp will hurt him in the Logo...whoever said that I need names and faces. The #1 Overall Pick battled injuries all season long but when healthy you could see all that potential as he came on late in the season. Two Shooting Guards showed promise as they were two of the first five picks taken in the 2012 NBA Draft Lottery. Another Rook was picked #7 and he is making his name where you need to in Winning Time as we go to press.

The 2012-13 All-Logo Rookie Team is sponsored by...that 82-game trek is no joke and some of you not on this list and trying to get there for the 2013-14 season take note.

D.L....Damian Lilliard shoudl have ran away with the voting as it wasn't even that close as he led AllRookies in PPG, Assists, and Minutes played and started every game in 2012-13.

Beal showed flashes and really showed flashes when Wiz Point Guard John Wall entered the line up as all Beal had to do was knockdown Open Looks...

Davis is as good as advertised as he just needs to stay on the floor...and out of the Training Room...

Waiters and Cavs All-Star Point God "Kyrie for Mayor" will be something to watch in the coming years as Waiters has a a lot of Mitch Richmond formerly of Run T.M.C of GSW in him...

Barnes has gotten better as the year has gone by now he is becoming a Star in Winning Time in Round 2 vs the Spurs...make your name in Winning Time not in 82 is the name of the game.

Big Dre Drummond will team up with PF/C Greg Monroe as the Pistons also add Kyle Singler to the mix as his play sent veteran Pistons Vet Tayshaun Prince packing...

"Big V" of the Raptors had a solid year and watch out for the Dinosaurs with all those hybrid Athletes around "Big V" they have Talent in Toronto led by "Rudy the Raptor".

M.K.G. had to be frustrated by losing so much in Charlotte but he was the youngest in the 2012 Draft and he needs to develop his Offensive Game as everything else is there...Solid Pick for the mikeCATS if they can get anything right upstairs they might start heading North...

Zeller is part of that super-young nucleus (Thompson, Irving, and Waiters) in C-Town that has the Cavs Organization oozing for good things to come...
