You still didn’t answer when you counted his balls...

I mean, it's happened 3 times in the last 50 years so 6%, guy.

They have changed the voting. The current voting system has had a split vote 0 times.

It's just 100 media type people voting. If some of them vote a split that will probably hurt Mitchell more than Simmons in the end. The chances of exactly half voting for each seems unlikely.

But I do think it would be a good choice if it ended up that way.

Ben Simmons can have the ROY.

We want the damn Larry O'Brien trophy!

There were almost 50 nba rookies who averaged 20+ points per game for their first nba regular season. Mitchell is one of them.

OTOH, There were only 2 nba rookies ever who had 1200 pts, 600 rebounds, 600 assists for their debut season, Oscar robertson and Ben simmons. Mitchell is a " once a half decade talent ", but Simmons is an once in a life time talent.

There is 1 rookie who made more than 185 3 pt'ers in a their rookie season.

So DM is blazing new trails, Simmons just copying someone else.

No, Simmons set the record for the worst free throw shooting rookie ever at his volume.

He also tied a few people with the worst 3 point shooting percentage in NBA history at 0%.

But he did get a lot of rebounds despite 90% of them being uncontested.

But I did find out in this thread that 15ppg is scoring at will so apparently the NBA has 50+ players that can score at will. So he has that going for him.

Also Simmons is an elite defender except in the 4th quarter where he is average and Mitchell is the better defender.


Joking aside I think Simmons will get this record but not because Mitchell didn't deserve it just as much as Simmon's. They both have done very impressive things this year and its really hard to compare two very different players. Both were a big part of their teams impressive records.

There is 1 rookie who made more than 185 3 pt'ers in a their rookie season.

There are four or five who led their teams in scoring and made the playoffs.

Gosh, I don't know, mate.

There is 1 rookie who made more than 185 3 pt'ers in a their rookie season.

But he still only averaged 20 points per game like 50 other rookies in history.
Only Oscar robertson matched Ben's tally of 1200/600/600 as a rookie

Gosh, I don't know, mate.

oh, *****, I gave it away.
