I also noticed that he was fairly close to a triple double the other night. 13 points, 10 boards, 7 blocks.

yah

Dude sucked at A&M. So raw though.

You're insane. He wasn't great, and still had a lot of developing to do, but he did not "suck" when he was at A&M.

Guess it depends what you call suck. But he couldn't do anything on offense other than dunk and shoot like 40% from thr line and he was actually a terrible defender and rebounder for his size. Theres a reason he slipped to the second round of the draft as an athletic 7-footer.

Deandre can still only dunk.

Beg to differ. He made a shot from almost 10 feet out this year! The shot clock was probably running out, but still.

Get in where you fit in. He's found a good role and really excelling doing what he does best. He's already making 10.5million. It will go up to 11.4 in 2 years. Good for him.

He didn't suck. He just didn't live up to the 5 star hype. He got beat out by BD mid year.

I knew Doc Rivers would be great for DJ. It's great to see him coming into his own.

DeAndre was always a 5* based on potential, not expected performance right out of the gate.

Wasn't great at A&m but he was good

Big guys often take longer to develop. Remember when Jones abused The Marcus in Austin? I mean, Jones just abused him. (We lost the game, but Jones had something like 30 points on like 15 shots, with LA guarding him most of the game.) Pretty amazing to think about now, as good as LA has become.

Jones outscored him 30 to 2 iirc, and those 2 points came after Jones fouled out. It was like watching a tall 14 year old playing against his 18 year old brother. Jones went through and over (but not around) Aldridge all night.

I like Deandre, but there is no way you can say he was "good" at A&M. He had some good highlights but was not good.

He is in a great situation for himself now though and has improved the last few years (defensively and rebounding).

Sounds like a "good" players to me.

There is a lot of room between "good" and "sucks." His freshmen numbers are closer to "good" than "sucks."
