    I think this could be one of the best in terms of ROY competition.

    I've got Randle.

    I think Parker will get more of the counting stats on a team that could be sneaky-decent. Wiggins would be my second choice.

    Parker will win, but like Tyreke Evans, he will be far from the best player.

    Of course, the real answer should be Kostas Papanikolaou...

    (Actually, the best player might end up being Noel, if he can stay healthy.)

    What sucks is all of these players are better than who we drafted.

    I just looked up the 2009 NBA Draft. Wow. There were a LOT of great players in that draft.

    Parker I think will be featured more. That I think he is more seasoned and more NBA equipped than the rest

    Re 2009 draft: this was an interesting stretch:

    41. Bucks Jodie Meeks SG
    42. Lakers Patrick Beverley PG
    43. Heat Marcus Thornton SG
    44. Pistons Chase Budinger SG
    45. Timberwolves Nick Calathes PG
    46. Cavaliers Danny Green SF

    (Funny that none of them are with the teams that drafted them. But, funny story, the Lakers are currently paying a lot of money to Beverley's ex-backup.)

    Don't get me started. With MIN peddling the #18 to anyone with a pulse, (Den got it for a "conditional future 1st"), we could've had our choice of Lawson, Maynor, Darren Collison or Jeff Teague. Or, with everyone and their brother (including US!) knowing that SAC really, really wanted Casspi, we could've swapped with them for some future considerations (or frankly, just taken him). And let's not forget the Dejuan Blair fiasco. We had #22, 31 and 33 and got... I don't even wanna talk about it. But yeah, multiple fails that year.

    Hate to say it but I'm going with Randle because like Lillard, he's going to be on the court a lot in his rookie season and have a green light to want the ball. It's a tough call though. I'd be surprised if Kobe plays a whole season especially if they are losing

    would have to imagine parker puts up around 20 shots a game so its his to lose. randle wont get the shots but he might put up 17 and 10 and take it.

    elfrid payton is an interesting dark horse if the others disappoint, he could average 14 and 9 assists or something

    noel is gonna be like 12/8/3 with 2+ blocks and a steal with good defense, probably the best of the bunch, but that stat line sadly has no chance if parker goes 20+ ppg

    Jabari all the way. Not much support and a sure fire starter from day one.
