s.t.a.t. Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 I am excited to see what Davis is made of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHutch Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 Davis is the clear cut favorite, but he won't do much scoring. Beal and Dion Waiters will be up there because they will be getting the ball a lot and getting a lot of opportunities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoastNiner Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 Anthony Davis my ass. This dude is going to bust so fast. Enjoy your 10ppg and 10rpg goals of 2012 and beyond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChosenOne Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 You kinda have to go with Davis because of all the looks and opportunities he will get. But with that being said I think Robinson will also have an awesome year and maybe even a better one than Davis. DavisRobinsonBarnes.

JYD Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 Yeah, Davis is the obvious favorite. I'm going to go Kidd-Gilchrist. He's going to do plenty of scoring on that Charlotte team (someone's gotta shoot/score, right?) and he's also going to play hard night in and night out. Also, the Bobcats will be better next year. They can't be worse. So that improvement will get him some attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DunkinDerozan Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 Davis for sure for me. Some other guys will probably put up better offensive numbers, but his all around game should win it for him. He'll make a HUGE presence in New Orleans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJFromTheDMV Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 Davis is already hurt, so I'm not sure about him. MKG is not in a good situation. I like Robinson, Beal, and Lillards chances. The last two game score and Robinson may be the most NBA ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I quote you on that "boiiii", or are you going to claim you haven't said either of those in a "long time"? . Davis will not win ROTY.

DunkinDerozan Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 Lots of unawares here,pepper thy angus for Motiejunas. Jonas Valanciunas is getting snubbed more than Motiejunas. Valanciunas would have been the clear cut #2 overall pick had he waited and been drafted this year. I'd say he has a pretty good chance.

Check my Stats Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 Davis is going to struggle offensively early in his career. He doesn't really have a niche offensively, and the Hornets don't have a true point who can get him the ball where he wants it, or spoon feed him on the pick and roll. Valanciunas has a chance to have a better rookie year statistically than Davis just due to having a competent pick and roll point guard. I think Dion Waiters, Harrison Barnes, Bradley Beal, Thomas Robinson all have a shot. They are on teams who aren't really going to have them on tight leashes, and will have a chance to take quite a few shots. I really think, statistically, the rookie of the year this year might be one of the worst in a while, which makes sense seeing as how people consider this a pretty weak class. If I had to guess, I think I would take Beal. He is going to probably be the number 1 offensive option immediately, and plays with a really solid point who is getting better and better (well, hopefully). And Davis may not be Hakeem like ESPN keeps shoving down our throats, but if you think he's going to "bust" already, well that's just stupid, unless you have outrageous expectations. When you have a guy who can be Tyson Chandler defensively, and not incompetent offensively (can already stick a 15 foot jumper), you have a legit piece on your team.

Built Ford Tough Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 Jonas Valanciunas is getting snubbed more than Motiejunas. Valanciunas would have been the clear cut #2 overall pick had he waited and been drafted this year. I'd say he has a pretty good chance. Valanciunas will be lucky to play 20 minutes a game given how frequently he fouls. Raptor fans are going to be in for a rude awakening with Valanciunas next season. All of these people expecting him to come in, play 35 minutes a night and put up 15/10/2 or something (not saying you are one of these people) are going to be very, very disappointed when he plays 15 minutes a night and averages 6/5 with 4 fouls a game. The poetential is there, but he is not going to be a guy who comes in and is able to significantly contribute right off the bat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capuccino Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 It's too early to tell. But I can say my favorites are Davis, Robinson and Lillard, maybe MKG has a chance, but in a team like the Bobcats I'm not sure he is going to make a huge impact.

AboveLegit Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 Tough one to decide, but I'm going with Thomas Robinson, who I think is the clear cut #2 best player in the draft. Rebounding almost always translates to the NBA, and having Cousins next to him alleviates any pressure or frustration he has to score in the paint. I think he averages around 10rpg this coming year. Beal probably has the best chance, he has 2 great passers in the lineup (Wall, Nene), and two solid options on offense coming off the bench in Seraphin and Crawford. If he manages to score over 14ppg with an improved shooting efficiency, I think voters will look at him a little more because of the market he's in, and the fact that the team could make the playoffs. The potential drop off in Orlando and the dearth of quality shooting guards should highlight his performance and rank him behind Wade, Ellis and Joe Johnson as a top SG in the conference. He by far has the greatest opportunity to shine early on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 Don't discount Davis being able to get experience playing with the Team USA guys. If he makes that team he'll enter the season on a roll and having gone against the best in practice. That's a big advantage for him going into the season especially being able to soak in a ton of knowledge from the vets on that team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
