Congrats Francisco Garcia

#1
With all this stuff that is going on with Ron Ron. I just wanted to say Congrats to Francisco Garcia. He finally made his first appearance in the NBA.com Rookie Rankings for his hustle and play this last week.

This week's Rankings (ONLY FOR THIS PAST WEEK)
THIS WEEK'S RANKINGS
1. Chris Paul (NOK)
23.7 PPG, 5.3 RPG, 11.0 APG, 2.33 SPG, .524 FG% in 3 games
2. Andrew Bogut (MIL)
11.0 PPG, 11.0 RPG, 1.00 BPG, .609 FG% in 3 games

On the outside looking in:
Ike Diogu (GSW), Raymond Felton (CHA), Francisco Garcia (SAC), Joey Graham (TOR), Danny Granger (IND), David Lee (NYK), Marvin Williams (ATL)
Ike Diogu's (GSW) playing time has taken a serious hit of late. He played just 19 total minutes in two games this week.
Raymond Felton (CHA) is knocking on the door of the Top 10 and he is ready to come in. Another solid week from Felton (12.0 PPG, 3.7 RPG, 4.7 APG) has him right behind Robinson.
Francisco Garcia (SAC) had his best game of the season on Tuesday, scoring 21 points and grabbing 10 boards in the Kings' blowout win over the Suns. With Bonzi Wells out, Garcia has stepped up, averaging 11.9 points and 4.9 boards while shooting .468 from the field in the last seven games.

awesome...what do you think of his chances of getting an invite to the rookie game?? I would suspect his scoring ave will likely be around 7ppg by that time--and his FG% should be above 40% by that time. I'm sure that Kings fans have noticed that since the start of the year, he is somewhat more selective about his shots and has a better idea of where he should and shouldn't be shooting from. His has very good %s on 2s and 3s for the month of Jan.

I would hope it would... and yes, I have noticed the difference in his game. Very encouraging.

he is an awesome guy to have on your team. Have followed him closely as a Louisville fan living in Indy. Have watched every game this year with Kings. Cisco is learning, I can see it. He will ALWAYS play with heart and emotion, and he will NEVER be afraid. He has seen way too much in his life to ever play timid. Sure he will do things that will make you scratch your head, but he is VERY coachable, has a great attitude, and will always give his best. At the Ville, he used to get the gym each day at 5am to shoot. He and Taquan Dean used to sleep at the gym after late nights of shooting.
