What? ROY has never been a record based award. Now, if the advanced stats showed one player was way more helpful to winning than the other player and they had similar stats, of course, but if one rookie is above the pack or just has that good of a resume, their record doesn't matter. I don't think Franz will win because there is equal competition, not because of records.
ROY is now a record based award. Otherwise no way Mobley would have gotten ROM award for OCT & NOV over Barnes as Barnes was considerably ahead of Mobley in all major stats (Pts, Rebounds, Assists) at the end of OCT & NOV.
So whats your reasoning behind Franz winning ROM for December? It has nothing to do with record. Also, Barnes was not considerably ahead of Mobley either.
NOVEMBER
Mobley-15ppg 8rebs 2ast 2blks
Barnes- 14ppg 8rebs 4ast 1blks 1stl
Very similar numbers with a slight edge to Mobley.
Franz win ROM of DEC because both Mobley and Barnes did not play much in DEC. Mobley was among top 3 for ROM of DEC and I think he would have won it if he had played 2 more games in DEC.
At the end of NOV these were the stats of Barnes and Mobley:
Barnes : 15.4 pts, 8.1 rebs, 3.4 asts, 1.1 stls, 1.0 blks
Mobley : 14.8 pts, 8.2 rebs, 2.5 asts, 0.8 stls, 1.8 blks
As you can see above Barnes was a shoe-in for ROM of OCT & NOV but Mobely got it and the biggest reason is Mobley's team was playing much much better than Barnes's team.
