i think in the future we should drop the "based on stats" aspect of this award. not just because of ben simmons, but because i think it allows for more opinions on what makes the rookie of the year. but for me this year is ben. if philly didn't make the playoffs though, i would have preferred to vote mitchell.

This thing is, these awards are from a fantasy perspective and really only stats matter in fantasy. Analysis of stats can sometimes be subjective but Simmons ranked higher, he hit more cats for a big impact and he did so on a lower useage. Simmons shot 10% better from the field. He's getting penalized a little in comparison to Mitchell because he's was a facilitator instead of sent out to score as much as possible. He could certainly have scored more if that was his direction. He was putting up around 4.5 more assists and rebounds per game than Mitchell. He blocked one shot a game and had more steals than Mitchell.Last edited by Apollo; Sun Apr 29, 2018, 01:57 PM.

just realized the voting window closed already, but wanted to put my 2 cents in anyway. I wouldn't have voted for Simmons because I feel that this category is more about value and rewarding the drafting acumen of our people. Picking Ben Simmons first overall takes no scouting skills since he was by far the consensus top pick that year. Mitchell pick or Markannen pick are both more deserving in my books.Heir, Prince of Cambridge

It's actually the "shot caller of the year" award, not rookie of the year, for that very reason.
i wouldn't mind making this award "most surprising pick of the rookie draft". i think that would give it way more leeway, and would allow for a giant bust to win the award.

Based on the name of the award, and the OP for the voting thread last year....

A discussion is welcomed.
