Who will the NBA Rookie of the Year be?

[llabb]

Well, LeBron is running away with the MVP vote, as you might guess, so I thought we'd start a new NBA topic. Who do you guys think this year's top rookie will be? I've listed a couple frontrunners, who should get most of the votes, and included a bunch of darkhorses as well.

Who ya got?

I like Bogut's chances simply because no one expects much from the Bucks this year and with the addition of Bogut and the return of TJ Ford, I think the Bucks will be near .500 and Bogut will recieve most of the credit for that.

Channing Frye.

ryan gomes. starter for the Cs at 3. got 18 points in a preseason game. im expecting 15 points, 8 rebounds and 3 steals per game. plus top flite defense. guy should have been a top ten pick. celtics win the atlantic and make the eastern conference finals losing to the cavs.

C- Perkins
PF- Jefferson
SF- Gomes
SG- Pierce
PG- West

that is a disgusting lineup.

Ok west is an upgrade over gary payton.
Pierce is in much better shape with better attitude this year.
Gomes is better than Tony Allen.
Jefferson is a year older.
Perkins is a shotblocking rebounding machine. Look at his per 48 min numbers hes only 20.

How is this team lottery bound???

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.

Charlie Villaneuva will win the Rookie of the Year, if the critertia is being horribly overpicked by the worst GM in the NBA. Otherwise I like Chris Paul.
