Rookie of the Year Odds & Predictions 2018

[payitforward]

That is a weird list!

Jackson is a PF averaging 7 1/3 rebounds per 40 minutes, while committing 6 fouls every 40 minutes as well. He is posting a good TS% (above average but not a huge amount). Jackson is certainly extremely gifted, but I wouldn't even put him in the RoY picture based on his production.

All the less does Knox fit. He has been absolutely awful so far.

Why would anyone mention him but not Mitchell Robinson? Who has been just terrific. He hasn't played as much as Knox, but he's played a little more than Kurucs, & a bit better than him too. (Though Kurucs, like Robinson, has been a really pleasant surprise out of R2. Diallo as well.)

Hard to argue against Doncic, however. He has been altogether as advertised!
