Rookie of the Year update

[Havlicekstealsit]

Michael Carter-Williams: 17ppg, 6.7apg, 5.7rpg, 40% shooting.

Vitctor Oladipo: 14ppg, 4.4rpg, 3.8apg, 41% shooting.

Trey Burke: 13.3ppg, 5.7apg, 3.1rpg, 39%.

Steven Adams has the highest win shares, with Tim Hardaway Jr right there with him. Neither of their stats otherwise are particularly impressive given their playing time.

I give it to Oladipo. He plays hard every night.

[PhutureDynasty]

At the moment it has to be Carter-Williams. He leads all rookies in points, assists, steals, and rebounds.

Plus he is a two-way player. The guys defense has been pretty solid so far.

[lettherebehouse]

I'd give it to Williams, because he plays in a better basketball market, and a better overall city than the other guy.

[AlaskaHawks]

MCW most definitely. Kid has shown some major skill and potential.

[Havlicekstealsit]

Carter-Williams has 10 double-doubles, 1 triple double.
Oladipo has 4 double-doubles, 1 TD.

Both triple doubles came against each other.

No one other then mcw has a shot as of right now

Rookie Rankings:

1. Michael Carter-Williams: See. Here he is. At the top of the list. His 40.4 percent shooting from the field is really the only criticism, and that should come up over time. Everything else falls somewhere on the spectrum between solid and excellent. If you’re still not sold, or if you have doubts about what he’s accomplished, keep reading and compare his numbers to the rest of his draft class.

2. Victor Oladipo, G, Orlando: Averaging 13.8 ppg, 4.5 rpg and 3.8 apg. Had a season-high 35 points and eight assists in a loss to Chicago.

T3. Giannis Antetokounmpo, G/F, Milwaukee: Hard name to spell, easy game to like. The Greek Freak is only 19 years old. He’s had ups and downs this season, but part of that is owed to playing for the Bucks, a total tire fire of a basketball team that should probably be disbanded. Despite the hardship, he’s second among rookies in rebounds per game (4.7) and he’s shooting 45 percent from the field. He does a little bit of everything.

T3. Trey Burke, G, Utah: You could move him up a spot or two if you like. The three slots after MCW are up for debate. But after getting a late start to the season because of injury, Burke is second among rookies in assists per game (5.7) and third in points (13.3). He’s shooting just 38.6 percent from the field, though.

5. Pero Antic, C, Atlanta: You know where Pero Antic was drafted? He wasn’t. He’s a 31-year-old rookie and he lands in the top five. Do you see? You must see by now. Anyway, Antic looked solid filling in for Al Horford. He averaged 11.4 points, 5.9 rebounds and two three-pointers per game on 49.2 percent shooting from the field in January. Then he broke a bone in his ankle and is currently sidelined for two to four weeks.

6. Tony Snell, G, Chicago: He averaged about 25 minutes per game in December. Then the Bulls traded Luol Deng to Cleveland -- and Snell’s minutes somehow dropped to 20.1 in January. He’s shooting 38 percent from the field and 32.5 percent from three-point range. He hasn’t rebounded (2.1 rpg) or passed (1.1 apg) all that well, and he’s averaging just half a steal per game. But he’s fifth on the list because he has potential and because he’s managed to stand upright without getting in the way most of the time. That’s more than the rest of the guys behind him on this list could manage. Hooray rookie class.

7. C.J. McCollum, G, Portland: A shooter on a good team. Had a broken foot to start the year and has played only about 14 minutes in 10 games.

8. Kentavius Caldwell-Pope, G, Detroit: 31.9 minutes per game over his last 10. Averaging 8.4 ppg over that span. He’s coming along.

9. Kelly Olynyk, C, Boston: Averaging 6.6 points and 18.3 minutes per game. How grim. Help.

10. Ryan Kelly, F, LA Lakers: He’s starting to get more minutes (25.9 mpg in his last 10). Hasn’t been terrible (but hasn’t been great), averaging 9.6 ppg and 4.1 rpg in January. I hate this list. Make it stop.

11. Hollis Thompson, F, Sixers: Sure. Whatever. Or put whomever you like here. Just so long as we can end the exercise.
