    Default How many Rookie of the Years ended up or will end up not being the best in his class?

    My list from starting from 2000 with who i think will end up being the best player from that draft:


    Mike Miller (2000) < Kenyon Martin
    Amare Stoudemire (2002) < Yao Ming
    Emeka Okafor (2004) < Dwight Howard
    Brandon Roy (2006) < LaMarcus Aldridge
    Derrick Rose (2008) < Russell Westbrook
    Tyreke Evans (2009) < 1a. Steph Curry 1b. James Harden
    Damian Lillard (2012) < Anthony Davis
    Michael Carter Williams (2013) < Giannis Antetokounmpo

    Andrew Wiggins (2014) < Jabari Parker

    Also Kawhi vs Kyrie is gonna be really interesting in a few years.

    Than one is just by default. Parker was running away with ROY until his injury.

    That's an overstatement. He only played 25 games, and his stats weren't anything spectacular.

    Or Redd. Crawford. Turkoglu. Miller has an argument if you're building a team, imo. He easily slots into any contender better than possibly anyone in the class.

    i stopped believing in the award when lebron robbed carmelo in 2004




    scratch that... i never believed in the award...

    a player in a bad situation usually wins over a guy who is forced to work his way up while winning



    its the best of the worst situation award.. big deal
