In a weekly NBA Kia Rookie Ladder publish, it was revealed that Stephon Fortress is on the high of the ladder. This isn’t his first week within the pole place. In actual fact, the final time Fortress was not within the lead, was mid-January.
He’s undoubtedly shined, particularly because the All-Star Break when he accrued accolades in a number of occasions and disciplines.
A number of viable names have been listed within the ROTY race: Alexandre Sarr, Yves, Missi, Jaylen Wells, and Zach Edey all seem frequently.
Right here’s sizzling take that caught me off guard.
Gilbert Arenas said that “if Bronny James performed 36MPG , he’d common 12PPG, 4RBG, and 4APG. He’d be high 5 for Rookie of the 12 months.”
I hadn’t realized what a exceptional season LeBron Jr. was having, till I seemed up his stats.
Bronny James is averaging 4.8 minutes per sport. He’s performed in 19 video games. That comes out to 91.2 complete minute this season. He’s averaging 1.6PPG, 0.5RPG, and 0.4 APG.
If I’m not mistaken, most of Bronny’s minutes are coming on the finish of video games.
Arenas is taking rubbish time minutes, multiplying them by seven-and-a-half occasions, assuming the stats could be constant over the timeframe (in opposition to a better stage of participant and in moments the place the sport isn’t already determined), and evaluating him to guys who’re taking part in significant minutes for his or her groups.
I’m undecided what job Gilbert Arenas is hoping to land subsequent 12 months, however I’m betting he’s fingers crossed for an invitation from LeBron to name video games for the Lakers.
The Rookie of the 12 months honors is Fortress’s for the taking. He simply must maintain doing what he’s doing.
