Can Zion win rookie of the year?

[dirkdiggler41]

25 games left, he is averaging 23points on 58% shooting, 7rpg, and 2apg. Ja Morant got 18ppg on 49% shooting with 7apg and 3rpg. The Pelicans are 3 games behind the Grizzlies.


Can Zion take it?

[Uncle Drew]

No.

[Kiddlovesnets]

Sure he can, why not? It will come to the race to the 8th seed, Zion will need to get the Pelicans to the playoffs in order to beat Morant for this.

[HylianNightmare]

Absolutely

[Celtics 1825]

He'd need to put up monster numbers (30+ ppg) for the rest of the season to have a shot, Embiid averaged 20 as a rookie yet still lost since he only played 31 games.

[Turbo Slayer]

Nah. Ja morant gets it.

[red1]

yeah - if and only if they make the playoffs.



thats enough to overcome the missed time.

[Haymaker]

At first I thought Ja would take it but Zion came back strong from his injury. He's even playing smarter, showing his Bball IQ.

[Pipes2.0]

He can, but because of his missed time, I don't think the media's gonna give it to him.
Ja Morant is more deserving, IMHO.

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

Ja has played 40 more games. Zion is better but not by enough to overcome that disparity

Even if Pels make the playoffs theyve won like 20 games without Zion. Memphis would be worse than the Warriors wins if Ja was hurt for 40 games like Zion
