Quickly:

Rodriguez really was disappointing. Totally handcuffed. Aldridge was great and Oden clearly will be fine. Martell Webster has regressed since last year, which is hard to believe considering how awful he was last year. His entire offensive game is coming off picks and jacking bad shots and his D is nonexistant. Aldridge has gained some weight since last year and looks much better.

Rondo looks good. Green also has addes some muscle, but really didn't impress me much, esp considering that Webster was on him. Looks more and more like a one-dimensional, but very very useful bench guy to me. Boston had some guy named Wallace jumping out of the gym who made several nice plays. Big Baby was far more athletic than one would expect, but he is undersized height-wise and will need to learn how to play in the NBA given this limitation. Will be a good bench player in the NBA eventually. Powe didn't do much for me.
