Drool....

The one time I have a dinner event on a Monday is when he decides to come back unannounced. Time to search for highlights.

Highlights don't tell the whole story but this looks pretty damn impressive.

I remember watching one of Fultz' games at beginning of the year. (10pts, 5 assists) He was solid -- clearly not intimidated -- and played fine with and without the ball.

For him to be a really special player -- we'll have to see him shoot 3s. But clearly the right decision is to let him play a backup role getting solid minutes every night this year.

So the myth is true. Fultz can actually play basketball! That blows my mind. Next thing you'll be telling me they found the Loch Ness Monster

That chart really shows how much Simmons stands out from the other rookies.

Interesting to see that Lonzo and Tatum have both been defensive plus players but offensive negative players. That is surprising to me, at least with Tatum

Regression is a fickle mistress...

Good read

I've made it pretty obvious who I want to win.

But, it should be Simmons.

This is a pretty good article though and you never know what voters value.

Good read

His argument seemed to boil down to Utah doesn't get enough press and the Sixers are a better overall team thus Mitchell should be the RoY.

Good read

Why is JJ Redick a proven sniper (166-403, 41.2%) and an argument against Simmons, but Joe Ingles (189-423, 44.7%) doesn't even get mentioned in the article as a teammate having some semblance of success???

I've read much more compelling arguments for Mitchell here than that article provided.

Probably because Ingles has only shown this type of sniper ability the last few years and Redick has been doing it for a decade.

* waits to see if he buys this steaming pile of bullshit *

The author obviously has a bias towards Mitchell and no I didn't write the article....lol

 

[flyerhawk]

It just wasn't the best argument for Mitchell. You've offered better arguments.

Fultz fer RoY!!

 

[LogicMan]

Happy to see tatum break through the wall and w/o others injured show his future. Teams are doubling teaming him. Kid can score from anywhere any time. In case no one has noticed he is still growing. Looks taller than Horford.

Fultz comes back and immediately breaks Embiid's eye bone. Thanks Rookie
