Who's it gonna be?
Toronto Andrea Bargnani - PF
Portland LaMarcus Aldridge - PF
Charlotte Adam Morrison - SF
Chicago Tyrus Thomas - PF
Atlanta Shelden Williams - PF
Portland Brandon Roy - SG
Minnesota Randy Foye - SG
Memphis Rudy Gay - SF
Golden State Patrick O'Bryant - C
My Pick: Adam Morrison
Reason: His team is full of young people. His teammates will like him. He will excell in Charlotte that's the main reason. Charlotte doesn't have a main scorer. He will become their main scorer. That's the bottom line.
Adam Moriison for rookie of the year cause i've seen how he plays. And he plays really good.

I see a lot more people like Tyrus Thomas.
He would have been my second pick... But Brandon Roy is up there as well.

Foye is a lot like Wade, but Wade wasn't dominate at first, and I would say Melo would have won it if LeBron weren't there. Yeah, you can now say Wade is better than Melo for sure though. It will be the same with Foye, a little bit before he comes out strong.

If Tyrus Thomas gets enough playing time, he'll take it this year. If not, 5 years from now, he'll show that he was by far the best player in this draft

Morrison. I think he's overrated, but he is in a good situation to win it. He's probably the number one scoring option on a bad team, and even if his defense sucks he'll put up bigger numbers than the others.

Morrison here also. Probably because I live in Charlotte and I'm being a total Homer here. But I think he's gonna be the guy that puts this team over the top and they'll start winning the close games they've been losing for 2 years. Felton, Okafor, May, Morrison, Wallace, Primo...they've got some weapons this year. Hopefully they won't suck so bad.

Yeah I think Charlotte will make the playoffs this year. Morrison will get MAD minutes, which is the reason why he gets ROY.

Andrea because I am a raptors fan, and because I sense that he could be putting up close to a double, double each game if he works hard on his strength during this summer

No way Bargnani will get it. It's only because he's an international player, he's used to playing with tough players but in a different league that has a completely different style of play. He will be bewildered his first season, maybe his second, just as Yao Ming was. It will work out for him, just like Yao Ming too though.
The only other 2 picks I would say are - LaMarcus Aldridge and Brandon Roy because both of them will start because Portland sucks ass.. I would say Tyrus Thomas but in Chicago with all the other dudes he won't get as much playing time and thus won't be able to get enough "stats" to get the Rookie of the Year.
