Thread: NBA: Who do you think will win rookie of the year?

I'm banking on Tyreke getting it. Griffin is out and I think it's doubtful that he'll be able to catch up with the likes of Tyreke Evans and Brandon Jennings.

The poll is for the favored rookies but feel free to post your own.

I think Tyreke Evans is the best at the moment...

i thinks brandon jennings is going to win. cause at the end of the day, the person who scores more is gonna get more votes

Here's a breakdown of their stats as 12/23.
If we're talking about points, then they're evenly matched. Each has their own strengths. Statistically they are almost evenly matched. Jennings (rank 47) has a slight edge over Evans (rank 51) in terms of power rankings.
-----------GP MPG - FG% FT% 3PTM PTS REB AST ST BLK TO
Jennings 26 35:41 .406-.824---54----524-101-161-29 -8---73
Evans ---26 36:21 .466-.773---13--- 523--136-130-40-10--80

i want jennings to, he's legit!

I agree. I don't always think that's the best way to judge it, but that's always how it seems to end up.

Trying not to be biased here, but a name thats not on the poll, and who I believe should definitely be considered, Ty Lawson. Given the limited minutes that he plays (He comes off bench behind Chauncey Billups) he ALWAYS plays hard, rarely complains, and adds a GREAT dynamic to the Nuggets. Hes reliable and will always add a spark to the Denver, O and D. IMO, he should be considered and if he continues to play well, he should be in the running, and would hopefully win.

The hardest thing for him is that he comes off the bench, only because Denver has Billups. But just because you dont start should not take you out of the ROTY running.

If Jennings can keep up his 20+ ppg, then he's gonna get it. Scoring is what the voters look at first.

Demar Derozan.
