I did and I'm a Pacers fan.

Do I necessarily believe that he will win ROY? No.

But as a European I mostly got to watch Val and not Davis and I firmly believe that he will have a very good NBA career.

I like Drummond but i don't think he will have the same impact as the rest of the rookies on this poll(watch him use his body to box out and you will know what i mean) but i do believe he has the tools to be the best in this draft class.

Anthony Davis is the favourite to win but Damian Lillard will be very close just cause i think his supporting cast is better. I also don't think anyone should call any of these rookies over rated or under rated yet until they've played a game in the NBA.Really don't like people hating on Anthony Davis's weight, saying he will get pushed around in the league. He can definitely play centre in the league even at 225 pounds and maybe he might get dominated by dwight howard but not every centre is as dominant. Davis' offense is also not getting enough credit.

It's been months since I've seen a delusional Raps thread. Good stuff.

If your point is that Iceland is nothing... you know there's also highlights of him going up against the Gasol brothers, Ibaka, Kaman, Dirk and Noah too, right?

Reading comprehension problem? :-?

Did you fail to read what I even said? I'm not saying youtube videos prove everything. I'm commenting on the fact that you made it seem like Iceland was nothing so therefore you weren't impressed. Instead of saying "Iceland" maybe you should have said "youtube highlights".

MKG,

because i think ROY is heavy on scoring.

but I'm not gonna lie and say i know a ton on these guys. just from waht i've read from chad ford/yahoo

mcfly1204 · Post #74 » by **mcfly1204** » Wed Aug 29, 2012 2:08 am

MKG is not expected to start off as a scorer...

DoubleLintendre · Post #75 » by **DoubleLintendre** » Wed Aug 29, 2012 2:54 am

Lillard. ROY is heavy on scorers. Explosive scoring PG on rebuilding team sounds just like the trick.

MKG is not going to be a huge scorer, and neither is Davis. Don't know what the big love for Jonas Valanciunas. I think he'll be solid, but not as stupendous as he's being sold as. If anything-- Davis would be the big man to place your bets on. He could be a beast. Just don't know if I see him being rounded enough offensively/super-super dominant defensively to win ROY.

Man, JV is going to average 4 and 4, with 4 fouls a games. People are going to come back to to this thread and laugh at Raptor fans.

I'll say Lillard or MKG.

This wont be the only thread. If JV struggles, a lot of Raptor fans are going to look.... well I guess their reputation for overrating prospects cant get much worse.

Source: I am a Blazer fan, I know what I am talking about, they are almost as bad as we are. Why doesn't Will Barton have a voting option, don't you know he scored 72 points, obviously the ROY will be a run off between him and Lillard with everyone else far behind. They will probably be named co-ROY's. Also Leonard will have a better season than Davis, block twice as many shots and rebounds with half the number of fouls, but Bartons 28 point, 8 rebound average and Lillards 22 points/12 assists will be just too awesome for this league to handle. Blazers in 4.

So, you're telling us that all 102 people who voted for JV are Raptors fans?
