    With Chet looking great in summer league, this could be a real battle with him, Scoot, and VW so it deserves a thread.

    He's going to be broken in two at some point this season. How could he go a full season without playing and not add any weight?

    I think it's Wemby and not even close. It doesn't matter what anyone else does. ROY is about marketing, and the NBA is all in on Victor.

    I was 19 once. Trust me, it can be done. Even with a hefty workout regimen...

    Chet has gained 13 pounds since the combine. Not a crazy amount but he did add weight.

    I was seriously thinking about putting $$ on Scoot just because I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility that both Holmgren and Wemby get injured.

    With all the media being stuck up his ass, Stick Man will be the winner unless he has a really, really shit season.

    I voted Scoot. I think he has the clearest path to leading rookies in points and assists, and while I don't wish injuries on anyone, Chet and Wemby are so skinny that it LOOKS like they're going to break in twain.

    Also voting for Scoot is more fun.

    Of course it does, what doesn’t deserve its own thread right?

    If she had been knocked down twice, the security guy would have had the opportunity for the ultimate one liner.

    I voted Scott. I think he's that good but i'm a homer.

    Wemby won this thing six months ago

    He will reach the minimum games needed and the league will mandate the rest of the rookies to sit.

    And the ball is going to be in Scoot's hands. This is what I said once Dame asked for a trade. Scoot is the favorite.

    I'm amazed 2nd pick Brandon Miller is not a choice.

    Having said that, if Dame is traded, Scoot will win ROY

    I might as well hop on board the Scoot train. I also feel both the Spurs and OKC might not fully take off the bubble rap for Victor and Chet. They might get load managed for some reason.
