ROTY- Simmons 1st team Ben Simmons Donovan Mitchell Jayson Tatum Kyle Kuzma Lauri Markkanen 2nd team Bogdan Bogdanovich John Collins Dennis Smith Lonzo Ball Bam Adebayo I feel he almost gets this spot by default. His opportunity was so great in comparison to other rookies and did some things very well. But I just can't get over the fact that he has been far more disappointing than promising in my eyes. I know there are a legion that will differ from this view, Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danger Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 It doesn't matter what you think does or doesn't count, the way it is now, Simmons is eligible and deserves to win the award by the rules set forth at this moment in time. Blake Griffin won it after sitting out the season he was drafted. Don't know who else has had this happen. But by this logic, it also stands to reason that Euro players who don't come over right away also shouldn't be eligible for the honors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rookie doesn't mean they haven't played professionally before, just that it is their 1st year playing in the NBA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfair!!!! oh i didn't know it was called professional basketball ROY. Here's how ridiculous this is. Embiid was with the team for 3 years and was considered a rookie. Randle in the same draft played 13 mins for the season and was not considered a rookie (which is correct) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah Just do it like the NFL, if a player is on the payroll, his first year counts, even if he doesn't play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowledge Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 If Simmons isnt a rookie then he needs to win Most Improved Player award He went from 0/0/0 to 16/8/8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
