    This is silly this award doesn’t matter. No matter who wins it, we all know Wemby is the rookie of the year. If given the choice, no GM in the league would take any other rookie other than Wemby. ROY doesn’t really mean shit.last three MVP’s didn’t win it. Giannis didn’t win it, Jokic didn’t win it, Embiid didn’t win it. Barring any injuries, Wemby is the only rookie from this class I would bet on to be a future MVP. Chet will have a great career but I don’t see any MVP’s as long as Wemby is the sheriff in Texas

    Chet is now also the betting favorite for ROTY, as he should be. Free money for anyone who got him at positive odds

    Craig Porter Jr has some of the best stats per 36 min. He’s playing on a playoff team behind two all-star guards as well. Undrafted gem. He’s special

    Miller’s looked pretty strong lately, but the real test is how he performs with LeMelo sidelined indefinitely.

      That’s kind of the opposite of the test. Young SG with no point guard t offensive scheme doesn’t tell us anything

        It’ll answer if he has innate combo-guard abilities. If he’s just waiting around for someone to pass him the ball or for the defense to sag off him, that’s worth knowing.

          I don’t think he is going to be running the point in these games. He’s just going to watch the team take turns playing iso ball and occasionally get chucked a bailout pass at the end of the shot clock. If you haven’t watched much hornets it’s difficult to express how utterly lost we are on offence without LaMelo

    Are people going to bitch about Chet possibly winning ROY over Victor like they did Ben Simmons?

    Hypothetically.

    Man Lively should be on this list. Our team is lottery without him already…
