Who you think that is going to win the Rookie Of The Year Award ?

[XxStunner]

Im thinking about Jabari Parker cause Wiggins still looks like a "raw talent"

[NovU]

Bojan Bogdanovic

[Alpha_]

I hope it's Jabari Parker!

[Kevin]

Bojan

[shadowgrin]

Nerlens Noel when he goes tearing up games after the All-Star break because the Sixers record would be abysmal by then that winning games won't matter.

[Mandich]

I'm surprised people actually pick Bojan to win it. There is no way a player outside of the US/Kenada will win it. This is one of the most over-hyped rookie classes ever so it obligatory an overhyped player will take it.

[NovU]

Isn't he your countryman?

I think it's going to be either Noel or Wiggins at the end. Bojan's good but he needs 13-15ppg to convince mind controlled people and have a shot at it. Wiggins is a good bet to average 13-15 ppg with better board numbers and Nerlens will have about 10pts-7reb and defensive stats to back up his case.

As for Jabari, Kidd foolishly wants to compete not tank, so won't let Jabari loose. Sanders and Knight will likely have rejuvenated season though.

[Mandich]

Isn't he your countryman?

He is, but he is still too afraid to take shots (apart from the 22 points performance). He could be a good player, but I just don't see Brooklyn as the right place for him.
It's either Wiggins or Parker, really.

[Stress Fracture]

Then where do you want Bogdanovic play? I guess he's on a good place. The Nets have basically their future blown away with their cap and draft pick situations, and I think he'll be a perfect piece moving on.

[Mandich]

That's true, Brooklyn could be a good place for him moving on but they still don't have a clear role for him. He is a starter but won't take many shots (and he is a scoring swingman) because of the established players on the team, he isn't a bench scorer because he starts. It's still early in the year so I guess Brooklyn will figure out his role as time goes.

He isn't that good to be the go-to offensive guy, but I can see him being a good scorer off the bench.

As of right now, Brooklyn is just wasting minutes on him. (37 minutes, 9 points in 8 shots attempted being the latest example)

[Murat]

Nerlens Noel
Jabari Parker
Andrew Wiggins
Elfrid Payton

No way for Bojan Bogdanovic. He is not a star-potential

[NovU]

I don't care if you have a star quality/potential. If you play well, you deserve it.

Anyway, Bojan stunk completely tonight, 0 point in 0 for 5 shooting with just 2 rebounds to go with and no other stats in 28:30 minutes. On the bright side, minutes are always going to be there for him each and every night as there is no competition to his position atm. What's worrisome is Nets' stagnant offense though. They are 29th out of 30 teams in assists only ahead of CLE(they at least are getting shit together on offense lately and played 1 less game than BKN) which makes them virtually the most selfish offensively run team in the league. Bojan's probably victim of stars hogging the ball as his usage is little but it's mostly Brook/Deron/JJ running the show.

As for Wiggins, he sucked too. Last night he was able to put up 20 points benefiting from blowout loss and garbage time, but tonight, he wasn't even given that chance and watched from sideline getting his team get pummeled.

Elfrid Payton was demoted to the bench, lol.



But Joe Harris and Gary Harris showed glimpse of their potential lately. Gary's probably going to have a hard time cracking the rotation as the Nuggets will have players returning from injury but Joe Harris might just make it. LBJ praised Joe Harris's game too(as he did with Napier when Heat).


On lesser scale: T.J. Warren is sent to D-League.

[JAWSFreelao]

I'm taking a bet on Eflrid Payton. He looks GREAT for the Magic.
