Kyrie Irving to be named Rookie of the Year

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Kyrie Irving will be named NBA Rookie of the Year on Tuesday, according to sources familiar with the voting results.

After playing in just 11 games in his only season at Duke, Irving rewarded Cleveland's faith in selecting him with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2011 NBA draft by averaging 18.5 points, 5.4 assists and 3.7 rebounds in 51 games.

Irving, who didn't even turn 20 until March 23, also shot the ball better as a rookie than many scouts projected, registering shooting percentages of .469 from the field and .399 from 3-point range. Irving's performance quickly established him as Cleveland's new franchise player in the Cavaliers' second season without LeBron James.

If Rubio stayed healthly IMO he would have been a good chance to take the chocolates

Not interested. I dont forgive him for turning his back on Australia. The country he was born concieved and born in. That should outweigh the fact that he was raised in New Jersey, has American roots, and the fact that he's never returned to Aus since he left as a toddler.
Fuck him
