Which rookie has impressed you the most this season?

[DazedAndConfused]

My vote would go to Nick Young. I think this guy is an overlooked talent because he plays on WAS, but when he is playing well he really reminds of a young Kobe out there. I think he went #17 or so in the draft too, great pickup for WAS.

[Tippecanoe]

al horford

i honestly thought he would be nothing more than a scrub. i'll go eat my crow

[ducks]

so lakers almost got beat and you pick a rookie on that team........

[GuerillaBlack]

Carl Landry and Luis Scola. Kevin Durant is starting to impress me as of late as he isn't jacking up as many stupid shots as he was. Oden's stupidity has impressed me as he played pick-up basketball and lost. Almost wasting millions.

[DazedAndConfused]

Scola a rookie? Isn't he like 28 years old?

[GuerillaBlack]

Yeah, but he is still an NBA Rookie. He is 27 actually.

[ducks]

Scola a rookie? Isn't he like 28 years old?
your point being?
he is a ROOKIE
and has never played in the nba before this year
and people here thought he was a proven nba player this offseason
I guess you were one of them

[Otaku]

Since when "rookie" has to do with age?

[ace3g]

Al Thornton: LA Clippers: Awesome fantasy player, just needs to work on his jump shot

fantasy player :rolleyes

[ElNono]

Durant is my choice.

[ace3g]

yes fantasy player, which is also translates to good NBA player well atleast how I pick them: he scores points, rebounds, gets steals and blocks and even though there is probably no chance of the spurs ever getting him I think if he were available in the future I would like the spurs to make an offer to him

[monosylab1k]

Durant. He's putting up solid rookie numbers despite being the only respectable player on that team. Plus he's dealing with the trauma of knowing he's going to have to play in craptastic OKC.

[Gino]

Yeah, but Scola is rookie in name only. He has plenty of years playing against professionals, thats not really what we mean when we say "rookie".

If Paul Pierce went to some Euro-league, should he be under consideration for "rookie of the year"?

[Kriz-Maxima]

I have really liked Al Horford.

[DazedAndConfused]

^^That was my point, Scola has been playing against NBA competition in the Olympics before he came to the Rockets so I can't really consider the guy a rookie in the same regard as say Durant.

[T Park]

Al Horford.

[Findog]

Durant is finally starting to play better, exhibiting better shot selection. He was the #1 option on that team. Al Horford and Luis Scola look good. At this point, just replace every Chuck Norris reference on the Internet with Luis Scola.

[baseline bum]

I'll go with Horford. Dude had franchise big written all over him coming out of Florida (while Noah had bust :lol )

Durant will of course be the best player of all of them, but he's what? 20? Scola's been much better than expected also.

[dave]

im going to be a homer and say the undrafted jamario moon

[MrChug]

Carl Landry.

But Horford is the ROY.

[N4th4n]

Spencer Hawes has actually impressed me alot. The kid is immensely talented; he has nearly every offensive skill imaginable. He has a very strong post game, his passing is very impressive almost Weber quality, his ball handling is on par with most small forwards in the game, he can even step out and hit the trey. His man on defense is weak but his shot blocking has been surprising. He can be a future star.

[Otaku]

Scola's been much better than expected also.

Expected by who? Spurs fans? Well, imho that's kinda expected after that trade.

[Heath Ledger]

Sure as shit ain't Stuckey.

[WalterBenitez]

Kevin Durant for his talent and natural way to lead a team, future Super Star
Luis Scola (*) for translating his FIBA's game to NBA's arena.

(*) he's been pro for 10 years abroad, ok?

[Texas_Ranger]

Horford.

[manufor3]

mr. carl landry

[DBryant88]

horford hands down

[Lakafan23]

Al Horford

[Fillmoe]

horford is a beast

[dallaskd]

He hasnt been the best rookie this year but Thaddeus Young came out of no where and has been a huge impact so hes probably impressed me the most. that or scola.

[KidCongo]

Both Al's are good, Horford is better tho

[G-Money]

Stuckey

[stretch]

Nick Fazekias.

[JamStone]

Thaddeus Young because he's produced and has been a surprise. He might not be as good as Durant or Horford or Thornton or Scola, but because he wasn't expected to contribute the way he has, I think he's been the most impressive.

[Allanon]

Al Thorton, Thaddeus Young most surprising talents.

Luis Scola, most polished "rookie". He's made the most impact this year.

Kevin Durant most talented.

[Duncanoypi]

I'll go for Al Horford....

[urunobili]

mr. carl landry
+1

[TampaDude]

Al Horford, hands down...he was built for the NBA... :toast

[MrChug]

Al Horford, the young Karl Malone.

[DAF86]

CARLUIS SCOLANDRY for ROY
