[ESPN] Durant wins ROY

Not really on topic, but is Oden eligible to win ROY next year? I mean, he hasn't played one game in the NBA, so how could he not be considered a rookie?

 

yes he will be a rookie

Kevin Durant, Seattle 	         90 	30 	5 	545
Al Horford, Atlanta 	         30 	74 	18 	390
Luis Scola, Houston 	          5 	20 	61 	146
Al Thornton, L.A. Clippers 	  - 	1 	27 	30
Jamario Moon, Toronto 	          - 	- 	7 	7
Juan Carlos Navarro, Memphis 	  - 	- 	3 	3
Thaddeus Young, Philadelphia 	  - 	- 	2 	2
Carl Landry, Houston 	          - 	- 	1 	1
Mike Conley, Memphis 	          - 	- 	1 	1

 

Based on this year's performance.
1. Durant
2. Horford
3. Scola

Based on potential.
1. Durant
2. Horford
3. Thorton (maybe)

Scola does not make the list. Scola's stats will not increase that much.

 

Tmac should take a cue from Durant and stop launching those 3's. His FG% would be much higher.
