What do you guys think some of the more notable Rookies will do this season?



Derrick Rose (CHI): 14 PPG, 3 RPG, 4 APG
Michael Beasley (MIA): 18 PPG, 9 RPG
O.J. Mayo (MEM): 16 PPG, 4 RPG, 4 APG
Russell Westbrook (SEA): 10 PPG, 2 RPG, 4 APG
Kevin Love (MIN): 13 PPG, 8 RPG
Danilo Gallinari (NY): 9 PPG, 3 RPG, 2 APG
Eric Gordon (LAC): 15 PPG, 2 RPG, 3 APG
Joe Alexander: (MIL) 7 PPG, 3 RPG
Brook Lopez (NJ): 12 PPG, 7 RPG, 1.5 BPG
Jerryd Bayless (POR): 13 PPG, 2 RPG, 4 APG
Jason Thompson (SAC): 8 PPG, 5 RPG, 1 BPG
Brandon Rush (IND): 10 PPG, 4 RPG, 2 APG
Robin Lopez (PHX): 5 PPG, 6 RPG, 1 BPG
Darrell Arthur (MEM): 9 PPG, 5 RPG
Greg Oden (POR): 10 PPG, 9 RPG, 2 BPG


I think its between Oden and Beasley for ROY.

[SouthernWebb04]

Just a question, will Oden be considered a rookie, I know he didn't play at all last season due to injury, but he was still under contract?

What's weird is that any one of these guys have a chance to be Rookie of the Year, but since Rose will be holding the ball a lot, I see it going to him.

[Darius Ali]

Yeah Oden is elligable to win the award since he didn't play a game last season.

Oden, Rudy, or Bayless. Non-Blazer pick would have to be Beasley.

[?QuestionMark?]

OJ Mayo and Mike Beasley, I think, are the top 2 candidates. They'll get touches on a bd team and at worst they're second options.

Everyone else has to share the ball with more players.

im picking derrick rose.

[deluxbucs]

Gonna have to be a Homer and take Kevin Mchale or wait I mean Kevin Love.

Defensively him and Al Jefferson will struggle a bit out the gates but on the offensive side of the ball they are gonna be one of the toughest frontcourts to defend against. I could see Love having a 14pts 8 rebound 4 assist season.

[Darius Ali]

I really think Rush is a sleeper in this group. But I don't know how much PT he is going to get with Dunleavy and Granger ahead of him.

[P J Shaker]

Beasley will get rookie of the year i think....with Wade with him he will not be the focus of the other teams attention...

O.J Mayo is not going to have over 15 ppg...the guy is over rated
