Who will the NBA Rookie of the Year be?

[llabb]

Chris Paul last night = monster.

26 pts, 10 rebs, 5 asts, 4 stls, 2 treys, 9-of-15 shooting.

Yes, it's pre-season, but this is your Rookie of the Year.

In contrast, Bogut's last game: 8 pts, 7 rebs and nothing else, on 2-for-5 shooting. That's a typical line for him. And he's talking about coming off the bench. Deron might also. Is there even another guaranteed rookie starter, besides Chris Paul?

I think the C's might be a year away, but are going to be asskicking machines for a long time here very soon.

hahaha fair enough. I agree they will be in for a rough year especially with marcus banks out til at least the all star break. im predicting 37 wins.

However 2006-2007 and beyond they will be perrenial 50 win team and title contendors.

Doc Rivers will not be coaching any title contendors, no matter how talented the C's might be. They might get 50 wins a few times depending on how good Gerald Green turns out to be. The superpowers in the East are pretty young too. They're not just going to step aside. Oh, and they are a big longshot to win the Atlantic this year, though it's possible they'll get to sacrifice themselves in the first round again.

My prediction: Gerald Green will be another Gerald Wallace.

I was going to post this too. Crazy night for the rook. It might be preseason, but he still put up these numbers against NBA players. Barring injury, he seems like a lock for the award.

I do. GTFO.

I think Paul's got a really good shot at it. Also McCants might get a good chance to shine with no one but KG in Minny. Personally hope Gerald Green shines, but I doubt it this season.

Agreed. Pokerdirty has some decent threads, but if you don't care about the NBA, then do us a favor and just stay out of the threads, rather than denigrating them.
