They didn't need a fluke. They were just consistently better and that's what matters.
Actually no...It is well known that the competition for MVP is always stronger than competition for ROTY. Only 1st year players can compete for ROTY but any player is eligible to compete for MVP. You always see 4-5 guys that have a legit chance to win an MVP (not so much nowadays because Lebron is too dominating). ROY is most of the time a race between 2 guys.

Still, there is always an amount of players competing for ROTY and an amount for MVP. It's equal.

He is the best scorer on the team but definately not the leader. Jennings is the one that sets his teammates and calls the plays. Salmons is simply the one that puts the ball in the basket. He isnt a vocal leader at all.

Its not equal. The amount of players competing for ROY is limited to about 60 players (i dont know how many rookies there is playing in the NBA) while MVP isnt.

Salmons MIGHT be the #3 leader on the team, but I'd argue against that.
Bogut
Jennings
Stackhouse
Are the Bucks "leaders" at the moment, in that order.

Someone didn't watch Jennings past the first month of the season. While he isn't a "pure" point guard, he is usually looking to set his teammates up before setting up for his own shot.
And before anybody resorts to the shallow apg stat, you would also have to take into consideration how Skiles runs his offense, i.e. LOTS of ball movement. This is one of the reasons Bogut also doesn't have high assists numbers despite being an excellent passing center.

There's a difference in giving a guy some credit, and giving him all the credit.
Naaah, you have said many times or implied that he isn't in the same class as the other two guys. That it's outlandish to believe he's the best rookie, and it's not. Until you admit that (which you never will), I am going to disagree with you.
At least you are starting to see that he's not some shot jacking scrub.
To the person who said BJ is a scoring pg... he's not really. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, he's not really used to the NBA style and he tries to find his shot early for the stretch run. He wont have to worry so much about finding his shot once he gets a little more experience. He will be able to just play his game and shoot with confidence.
The Bucks have a good squad, for sure, and Ridnour can be a better player than JEnnings if he's wetting or if Jennings is totally off (because he does lose his confidence when he starts going like 3-15), but I like the way the Bucks play with Jennings a lot.
I just think he needs more respect... he is, at worse, comparable to the other two 'elite guards'... that is you consider Curry elite at this point. Anyone who doesn't see that is just a hater.
And he will probably never shoot under 40% again.

Re: Rookie of the year being announced live in 1 hour
So if Jennings loses(it's probably going to happen) Friday will be stage for his revenge game and it will be a chance to advance. We will see how can the young buck really perform. Would be so great if a rookie dropped 50 in a close-out-revenge-for-not-winning-ROY game.

The award is for 82 games of the regular season. It's not about who will be better in the future, who might have the better career, or who happened to be on a playoff team.

Well deserved to Evans. He was the best overall rookie during the season.
