Bit premature - the season hasn't even started. Wouldn't it be better to wait until some games have been played and we actually have some statistics which might indicate who the ROTY might be. There could be injuries etc which would affect the award. It may not be either Rubio or Monroe but some smokey that no one has evern thought about. IMO it's wait and see.

greg Monroe was a rookie last year ?

as a cavs fan and after watching both pre season games. BOTH kyrie and tristain Thompson look very very good.

rubio looks rhetorically goods with derrek Williams too !

enes kanter looks a very promising big . and brandon knight at detriot looks very solid.

BUT my big roughy is klay Thompson at warriors. is a flat out scorer ! marc jackson has already declared him the winner. looks very good.

Jonas valencunious would win if he was at raptors not Lithuania .

kemba walker looked alright in his debut

Ater Majok?

yes kembla did and so to jimmer freddete

Rubio? Oh please. He'll have a great career of 6 points & 5 assists per game.

Freddete is playing in a crowded back court in Sacramento. Will get a few good games going, but unless they make some moves i doubt he'll get ROTY.

Kenneth Faried is my favorite rookie this year. This guy can be the next Dennis Rodman but with an offensive game.

ROTY will surely be out of Bismack Biyombo, Kemba Walker & Derrick Williams. Kyrie Irving i'm still not sold on.

Kenneth Faried?

Dennis Rodman potential with offence?

You serious homes?

I don't know and asking the ?

biyombo i cannot wait to watch.

but how could you not be sold on Irving ? he's had multiple comparisons to cp3 .

and if youve watched any of the games he looks extremely comfortable and has a surprisingly smooth shot.
coach k for heavens sakes changed his famous duke offence for like the ffirst time ever just so this kid could have more control. heck . how could you.not be sold on him if coach k is ?

YouTube search him if you haven't heard about him (Faried).

People forget that this year's draft class is as weak as 2001, if not weaker. So just because Irving was picked first doesn't mean he'll be a star. He barely played college ball due to an injury, so i'd say he'll struggle with consistency this year.. at least.

Bismack Biyombo won't come close, his ceiling is Ben Wallace and that's if he really develops.

Kyrie Irving and Derrick Williams are no doubt front runners. Jimmer and Kanter have the potential but are playing in logjammed positions for their teams.

I like the look of Vesely if he gets the start in DC, good be effective at both ends and be a 15 8 and 3 guy.

Think Derrick William's play might be hindered by Beasley so I'm going with Kyrie to win it with Vesely as my smokey!

My pick is Kemba Walker with Irving a close second.

I think it is way too hard to pick a stand out this year...but my early pick for ROTY is Derrick Williams.

Sorry but Rubio has been a pro since the age of 14 and spent the last 2 years playing for an old school coach, for the top team in Spain (if not Europe) who pretty much shackled any creativity and flair that he had. So to be calling him out as a bust (or a role player) at this stage is pretty premature. At worst i see him as a poor man's J. Kidd and at best a rich man's version of the same.

If K. Love (the slimmed and cut version) moves to play more mins at C for the wolves - D. Thrill will get mins. and might be a real threat for ROY. And if Rubio turns out to be the glue that makes a team work that all fans hope he is - he might eek it...

But this is a wolves homer speaking - so take that as you will.

Too early to tell anyway - for any player.

I'm sorry, I still can't get over the initial question....Greg Monroe? Did you even notice the NBA after All-Star break last season? Monroe was a double-double monster then! Haha.

Here is his game log from last season, I can't believe a hoops fan wouldn't have noticed this cat, the way he was playing!

Jimmer is the real deal.
