A Few Surprises



My NBA.com blog should be starting up soon, but until then I figured I might as well throw out another Unpossiblog. Some surprises from this season:

* Kevin Durant: Did anyone think he would be this good this soon? KD is averaging 24 points, 2.5 threes, over 6 boards and a steal so far. Oh, and every game he is looking more comfortable out there. Think Portland is regretting taking Oden yet?

* Jamal Crawford: Looks like he may be the steal of the draft. Starting alongside Starbury, Crawford has been tearing it up so far this season, averaging 24 points, 1.7 steals, 1.7 threes, and 7 assists. If you took him late you are loving life right now.

* Danny Granger: I hate to say I told you so, but...I told you so.

* The Atlanta Hawks: Beat Dallas and Phoenix so far. It's still early, but it's looking like the Hawks playoff drought will end. Al Horford is providing tons of energy, JJ and J-Smoove are doing their thing, Acie Law is starting...it's good to be the Hawks.

* Ben Wallace: Who would of thought he would be this bad? Imagine if the Bulls had taken a portion of the money they paid Wallce and given it to Tyson Chandler, who has been doing a better Big Ben impression than the original. In fact, add Chicago in general here. 0-4? Looks like they need Kobe more than they thought.

* Chris Kaman: Playing like a man possessed. Still looks like an undead farmer, but hey, I guess we can't fault him for that. Not when he is grabbing a ridiculous 22 boards anyway.
