Look for him to have a big game tonight as long as he doesn't pick up early fouls. He needs time! lol

I dont mind him not rebounding, less assists, but if your main attribute is shooting the 3 ball, then you better do a good job of doing that especially if you're wide open. And another point is that, neither him or Bosh plays well together. On most nights its Bosh taking over, but not Andrea, and then you see limited nights of Andrea scoring 19-20 and Bosh only scoring 16 or so.

He had a good season last year, but now the other teams have figured him out. It is up to him to put it all together. I am still confident he will be a 20 PPG player in this league in a couple of seasons. As a side note as well, I think people expected him and Bosh to have more chemistry, they need to work on how they can help each other's game out.

He's becoming an Araujo. This guy cant hit an open jumpshot from the 3 point arc, the mid-range, and even better yet does not shoot well from the free throw line. He does not have good handles, weak rebounding skills, and shows no emotion. To me this proves that a player with these statistics tells me that the first overall pick in the 2006 draft was indeed a flop.

But, he has really developed into a nice piece of the puzzle for them and he is what they would call in baseball a "5 tool player." It's just a matter of time now before he puts it all together and on a more consistent basis. Marvin Williams was in the 2005 draft class, remember Atlanta took him over Chris Paul.

I wasn't a big fan of Morrison even last season, it just seems like he only has one tool in his toolbox. But he wasn't a bust last season at all.

It's funny to think about how different that list would have been last year and how different it could be next year. Just off the top of my head I know if you did this last year you would have to swap Bargnani and Aldridge. Maybe even Farmar and Morrison.
