It will likely be a higher usage guy like Ivey or Banchero that wins ROY.
Woj: Don to the Cavs for Markkanen, Agbaji, Sexton, three unprotected 1sts, two swaps, and a partridge in a pear tree.

It’s Banchero’s to lose. I think Murray in Sac could put up decent numbers too. Jabari Smith looked a little passive in summer league. I could also see Mathurin or Duren putting up big numbers and getting it if Paolo gets hurt.
Ochai might make an all rookie team but ROY ain’t happening.

Makes sense. Detroit is probably not ready to give up the tank, but I am not sure Ivey and Cade don't share the ball enough to take him out of that category. Banchero and Smith are on teams with heavy usage guard play as well. I just like Utah having a good environment for Ochai to feast

and as good as Bane was he didn't sniff ROY.

True. I guess I need to use better comparisions. His game is very similar to Bane of last season than rookie Bane though so just trust me on this !!!
I am a huge fan of Agbaji, and think he will be really good for us, but no way he wins ROY.
Banchero going to win it cuz he's clearly the best rookie in the class now that Chet is gone.
My dark horse would be Murray if he has a great year and the Kings play really well. He won't have as good raw stats as Banchero, but if he can get within arms distance the winning might put him over the top

The Rookie of the Year award is so important as a laxative, I think I'm going to go take a dump right now.

OK sure I know not great odds. However I don't think it is out of the question like most do. Consider a situation where he efficiently scores over 25 points a game as a rookie and the team is in the play in game. Still think he has no shot?
