Vote.

This is the clearest two-man race.

Many will vote for BJ and you can't argue too much because he's been outstanding. Plus he made people forget about Redd and who can forget that 55 point game? Europe gave him the edge as a rookie.

That said, if you really watch the games and look at numbers Evans gets the edge. He's been more consistent and throwing up triple double like numbers weekly. He's been fantastic and unless Martin's return really puts the brakes on the freedom Evans has now then I don't see how he can lose the ROY award.

Did anyone see the gw he had Saturday? Dude is fucking sick. Much better than I originally gave him credit for.

it's not a clear cut 2 man race as much as you think. both are on bad teams as a featured scorer. both get huge minutes compared to other rookies.

i'm sure one of the two will win ROY, but both are lucky to have fell into ideal situations

i didn't think it was possible after the start jennings had but evans got this. he's winning games AND putting up great #'s.

ok but this is a results game, amirite? i would love to tout the merits of flynn, curry, jerebko, gibson, harden, casspi, etc. but it's all potential right now.

also, 'bad' teams? i wouldn't call either the bucks or kings bad. if anything they've overachieved largely bc of these two rookies...actually they're bad in a vacuum, but their records aren't

ok they're definitely not GOOD though. but i wouldn't call em bad and i think evans and jennings are huge reasons why

this race is really tough. jennings is a floor leader and runs skiles' offense efficiently. evans shuts down games. people love his game-winners but who saw his steal on gilbert arenas in the final minute that sealed the win against the wizards?

evans pushed ahead after his last 5 game stretch. everything gloss said i c/s

Yeah but thats pretty much the criteria for rookie of the year. It always goes to the player who puts up the best stats regardless of how good or how bad their teams did

Tyreke Evans. He's doing the 20/5/5 thing.

I jizzed on Jenning's 55 pt game box score and figured he'd run with this. He hasn't been AS dope as he was from the start of the season up to that game.

Tyreke has been sooooooo good all season. Had to vote for him.

It's as clear as a 2 man race has I have ever seen it.

Tyreke Evans

I give the vote to Jennings. He's from up the street from my city, so therefore it's a Cali thing.

could you be more retarded in your decision?

evans playing in cali doesn't change things??

I have to give the vote to Evans. Jennings has been struggling with his shot for a good while. He's shooting just under 35% over his last 17 games.
