Woj: Don to the Cavs for Markkanen, Agbaji, Sexton, three unprotected 1sts, two swaps, and a partridge in a pear tree.

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

It really is kind of a stat padding award unfortunately

I was thinking his opportunites to prove he is very similar is style and effectiveness to Desmond Bane

Bane wasn’t ROY material. He could end up being as good, but I doubt it. He projects as a solid 3&D wing though

 

[Thee Idiotic Minivan K]

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?

You think he has a shot at scoring that high? You high man!!

 

[Thee Idiotic Minivan K]

But sure if he scores 25 a game, he’ll probably win the award. Lol

Jaden Ivey?

If there are injuries. I don’t think he will have huge stats. They have a couple other young wings and I think it might take him a little time to adjust. But he should be on the short list.

I think Paolo has to get hurt for any of the other guys to have much of a shot. Paolo seems like one of those guys that will get 20/8 in his sleep.

Ivey is going to have the ball in his hands a ton, him and Cade will basically have free reign.

My bet is that if Och plays better than all the other rookies then he will win Rookie of the year.

Man... where is captain obvious when you need him.

Of course if he does that he would win it but that is not going to happen. With our depth I don't think he gets more than 20 minutes a game.

When has that ever mattered in the nba. If that were true Gobert would’ve had at least 5 DPOY awards.

It's friggin NBA. It's not about basketball, it´s about the show and the bright lights.
The best guy just don't get the hottie. The sexy dirty one does.

I mean, that's typically the most fair way for the award to work. The best rookies are usually on the worst team and to place to much emphasis on winning would be a mistake.

Are the Jazz tanking ? if not,then sure your'e correct, he has no chance to get that usage. If they are he absolutely should even iof they don't give it too him. He is not a project at all being a 4 year college player, who got better every season.
I think it will be like Banes rookie season if they are not playing him much before he broke out in year du. However the log jam of guards like Clarkson still on the roster indicates no interest in a full rebuld either so you are probably right.
