    Who do you think will win rookie of the year?

    Besides the draft class of 2010, there is also Tiago Splitter signing with the Spurs and Blake Griffin coming back from injury

    I take Blake Griffi. While he was injured the whole season, he get NBA coaching and training to come back from injury.

    John Wall.

    They will give him complete offensive control of a sucky team like Sac. did with Evans.

    All stats and no wins.

    Right now I'd say Wall or Griffin, with Turner behind them.

    I will go outside the box and say either Greg Monroe or the safe choice in Turner.

    Does Griffin get to be lumped in with the rookies this year? if so, then i guess Wall or Griffin. most likely Wall though.

    John Wall. There is no question about it even with Blake Griffin

    I have to say John Wall. Because he will be the starting point guard on a team with a green light to do whatever he wants to do. He will definitley boost his stats just like Tyereke Evans did in Sacremento this year.

    I watched so many Sacremento games last year especially after the Landry trade. Tyereke was a total ball hog and out of control a lot of times. I saw a lot of frustration from Landry.

    I hope it is Patrick Patterson although I dont think he will get consistent minutes next year. Unless there are injuries or any sign and trade that can further thin our front line.

    seriously? I think its a no-brainer that if Wall plays his game he should win it easily.. hes simply too electric to not be impactful plus hes a PG that dominates the rock.. he was great in college and his game is better suited for the NBA level lol think about that for a minute

    Wall is good, no doubt; but most PGs take time to transition to the next level of competition.

    I hope Favors is not RoY. I am still recovering from the Brandon Roy-gate.

    While I think Blake Griffin is way more NBA ready than Wall is, Wall will get ROY because he's the PG and will have the ball in his hands most of the time. If Blake Griffin gets ROY, this will show that he is truly going to be a superstar.

    Pretty much. Griffin also has Baron Davis working against him, on the Clippers.

    Honestly it's got to be Griffin. The Clippers have the same agenda to pump up his stats but unlike Wall who can't shoot straight Griffin already has a complete skillset. There's also the matter of Wall sharing time with Agent 0. I know the wiz want to trade him but its hard to believe Wall's PT won't take a hit because of him.
