2017-2018 NBA Season

Ben Simmons isn't a rookie, IMO. This is his second year as a sixer. That's not a rookie.


That said, the NBA doesn't see it that way. So under these guidelines, Simmons deserves the RotY award. Simmons' 16-8-8 is more impressive than Mitchell's 20-4-4.

I can't wait until Ben is a Laker.

Mitchell just 2 away from being the all-time rookie 3 point leader. One from tying Lillard. No tremendous holes in his game. Love this guy!

No way he stays in Utah when his rookie deal is up.

He'll be restricted when he becomes a FA so we'll have him for another 5 years after that.

Yup we have him for a while weather he likes it or not. I do think Mitchell likes Utah but you never know with players and Utah.

By far the best rookie in this years class. Not many times where you can say the 13th pick would be the 1st pick if there was a redraft

Quin Snyder would get my vote for coach of the year. What he has been able to do with this team after losing Hayward to Boston has been pretty remarkable. I dont know if he will win it as Im sure Brett Brown, Dwane Casey, and Mike D'Antoni will also get a lot of consideration. All good choices this year.

They really have. He broke through that little rookie wall he had last month.
