B -- Amir played well and as expected + was solid at the role asked of him (first big off the bench)

[Buddahfan]

I gave him a C. i think it is actually a C+ but that was not an option.

The C+ means that I think he played a little above what I expected of him given the number of minutes that he played and the opportunity that it finally appears he was given to be part of the offense and not just a garbage man on offense.

If I were to break it down as a split before and after the all star break and as a starter I would break it down

Before the all-star break C minus
After the all-star break B minus
As a stater B plus

I gave him a B because he played above my expectation and because he is still young and developing. However, if he plays the same next year (should he sign a new deal), he won't get a B again. He needs to add some poise and became a savvy defender.

[Apollo]

Gave the guy a B. He played better than expected but he wasn't "amazing".

[CB4]

I gave him a B because even though he wasn't really a threat scoring, he brought intensity every time he was in which the Raptors lacked this season. He rebounded really well both offensively and defensively. He ran the floor and got a lot of energy dunks. He was better defensively than Bargs, but really, who isn't? Overall, if he can polish his offensive game and handle bigger post players a bit better, i think he could be a better player to have in the game than Andrea.
