Blake Griffin or Tyreke Evans?

I like Tyreke to beat out Griffin as the Fantasy Rookie of the year. Griffin will put up pts and boards but evans will contribute everywhere.

griffin shoots an awful FT% and Tyreke will be sub par at best with his FG%

what do you guys think?

I say Tyreke b/c mgrs are more likely to reach for Griffin, who I wouldn't take before the 8th or 9th round.

I would choose based on my stat needs.

Reke will also have a boatload of turnovers. I'm thinking he could easily post 3+ per game to go along with 40% shooting.

I think his line is going to look something like:

15ppg on 40% from the floor, 78% from the line on around 4-5 attempts, 4.5 boards, 4 assists, 1 steal, no 3pters (something like .3 per game), and 3.1 turnovers.

I think he's a great pickup late if you play in a keeper league because next year, when he gets more comfortable with the NBA game, he could easily put up 20/5/5 w/ better shooting
