[JUMPER]

As of RIGHT NOW I'd say Kristaps or Jahlil.

 

[Stray32]

KAT

 

[BNC]

It's not too early, unless there's an injury KAT is winning

 

[Raindelay]

Porzingis my son

 

[Sutherby]

Towns





Kristaps



Okafor



Sorry but Jahlil can't be in serious contention when he still hasn't experienced an NBA win ffs

 

[Me7o]

Porzingod

 

[Sutherby]

VSN people remember how many people were shitting on the Kristaps pick without ever seeing him play?

I wish Slap The Floor was here so I could shit on him for that

As do I.

 

[RunSoHard]

Some VSN people were the most annoying people to ever exist.

 

[lilbravesfan22]

Towns no doubt.

 

[cavsfan817]

Okafor can't be considered because the 76ers aren't competent enough to play more than 3 actual NBA players at a time? Yeah, makes sense. He's been killing it

 

[cavsfan817]

Obviously KAT has this award unless something crazy happens, but to say that Okafor doesn't belong in the conversation is ridiculous.

 

[Me7o]

Timberwolves had the worst record in the NBA last season and Wiggins won ROTY

Team success is irrelevant

 

[Sutherby]

Obviously KAT has this award unless something crazy happens, but to say that Okafor doesn't belong in the conversation is ridiculous.

He's played 17% of an NBA season and has 0 wins

The rookies were awful last year

 

[Me7o]

The rookies were awful last year

Yeah I already knew that. My point is that team success doesn't mean a whole lot for a ROTY award. The last 5 rookies to win the award never had a team win percentage higher than .400

 

[BNC]

And there's actually choices this year. I agree that it shouldn't have a huge influence but it certainly helps Towns' case that his team might fight for an 8 seed

 

[cavsfan817]

He's played 17% of an NBA season and has 0 wins

Yep. Dude's terrible. Should just retire. 2/5 of the starting lineup has no place on a d-league roster, much less an NBA squad.

I disagree, he's not terrible nor should he retire. That's stupid.
