Now the draft is over who’s your 2014-15 ROY?

Nerlens Noel, Zach Lavine or Parker

Nerlens Noel, Zach Lavine or Parker

 Julius Randle all day. Theres an immediate need for low post scoring and rebounding in LA with or without Gasol. He has an NBA ready skilkset prototypical everything for his position and the right mentality to succeed. Randle is one of the only players I think could actually be viewed as a prospect ready to play with Kobe whos confidence wont be crushed by his criticism.

It’s either going to be parker, randle, wiggins, or smart

 Parker will get the most shot attemps so best chance to lead everyone in scoring,so my pick.

Noel might average 9 rpg,about 2 blocks but below 10 ppg.Doubt would be enough to win.

Wiggins,if no trades,is at best 3rd option after 2 ball dominant guys.

Wiggins,if no trades,is at best 3rd option after 2 ball dominant guys.

I think Parker is the obvious choice here. He’s an NBA ready scorer who was drafted by a team ranked 28th in scoring. I doubt he drops under 17 points per game next season.

Wiggins I think will surprise some people and I believe will be in contention as well. Irving and Waiters can get out on the break and although he’ll most likely take a back seat to them as scorers, I think in a 3rd option role he can put up between 14-16 ppg to go with tough D and about 5 rebounds.The real kicker is that Cleveland could get in as an 8 seed in the East

Doug McDermott is my dark horse. This will be effected by what kind of success Chicago has in the free agent market, but as it stands I think Doug can average over 12 ppg on Chicago’s current roster, assuming they amnesty Boozer. I think Doug went to just about the best possible team for his skillset.

Removing guys who might not get enough playtime (Gordon, Smart, Stauskus, Vonleh, etc.). I’d say…

1) Julius Randle
2) Jabari Parker
3) Dante Exum (play time still a concern)
4) Nerlens Noel (though they may sit him a lot for safety)
5) Andrew Wiggins (Waiters takes SG time and Wiggins won’t be able to start against strong guys like LeBron at SF)
6) Doug McDermott (unless they sign a SF)

ROY almost always put up great scoring numbers. Everything else seems to be gauged secondarily. So with that in mind, you gotta go with Parker. I’d be shocked if there is another rookie who averages more points next year. Randle could give him a run for his money, but Parker is just much more of a volume scorer.

I think Randle and Wiggins are the only freshman rookies with the NBA-Ready game and favourable situation to win ROY. 

I think Marcus Smart will win with averages of 16ppg, 6apg and 5rpg

 I like Parker because that bucks team jus doesn’t have offense and he will shoot at least 20 attempts a game k see him ending with a line somewhere of 14 ppg 6 boards 2-3 assists but he will also turn over the ball a lot also think Marcus smart can be the Roy with averages of 13 ppg 5 boards and 5 dimes he will have a couple triple double games ! Julius rAndle will be nice but I think he will have a up and down year average no more than 10 ppg and average 6-7 boards a game ! The dark horse I like is stauskus ! Boogie and gay will open up shots for this gun slinger and he will give u 12 ppg ! I’m a laker fan but i don’t hate and I’m go with Marcus smart !

 I think it will be Parker or Randle, I think both will get the most opportunity to put up numbers right away.  As it stands right now Randle would be the 2nd option on LA, 3rd if Pau comes back… and any other additions could push him down the line but as of right now he is probably the 2nd option.

Parker will be the top dog for the Bucks right away, that paired with his already polished offensive game and I have to see him as the favorite.

Dougie McDermott like JoeWolf is my darkhorse, I just love his game and feel like it will translate no problem.  If Rose is healthy he’s going to have wide open shots all day.

 Parker without question.  NBA ready, will be able to score right away.  Will play big minutes, should play at minimum 30 mpg.  Milwaukee has nobody else who can put the ball in the bucket.  Parker may run away with ROY.

 Wild card pick TJ Warren.  Really like his situation.  Kid will be 6th man of the year candidate.

 It’ll probably be Parker, Wiggins or a PG, but I have a feeling that K.J. McDaniels is going to put up some serious stats for the Sixers, esoecially if Thad gets moved.  He’s my dark horse for ROY.  Great pick by Philly.

 Every rookie is going to play in summer league unless they are hurt but I really don’t see Noel putting up more than 10-12 ppg. Unless he averages like 3 blocks and 9 or 10 boards I think it’s going to be hard for him. It usually goes to the rookie who scores the most, which will most likely be parker.

 I think Jabari’s gonna win but its gonna be a close one with Randle, Smart, and Payton right behind him
