Plumlee and Ed are our dirty players we always talked about needing.
 
Blood just started gushing out of Cody Zellers face. That was a lot of blood, like a river coming out of his face...
 
Looked worse the first time, still a lot of blood.

 
KAT has been ROY so far, but I'm on Winslow watch. Winslow might break out here real soon. Lets see how he does tonight against division rival Atlanta.

KAT will win it easy.

The only player that will challenge is Okafor.

Julius Randle would make a run too if he qualified - he doesn't because he played in pre-season games before his injury.
 
I wanna say a darkhorse for ROY is Willie Trill.

He is putting up 9/7 on .733 shooting with a block a game in 20 minutes. If he get's bigger minutes his numbers will be insane.

Drummond has been the most dominant big so far.

Freaky strong - opposing players are bouncing off him.
 
Somebody needs to rescue Jeff Green from Memphis.

Don't think preseason matters.

He got injured in first reg season game last year so that's why he's ineligible.

Disagree, he has real flashes. PG take some time. He rated above towns and okafor entering college.

You may be right, and I haven't seen much of him. He doesn't have a great cast around him, and turnovers are common among rookies, but it seems like he cant score at all. It's like he has Ricky Rubio level scoring struggles without Ricky Rubio level shenanigans. He can definitely get his team mates involved, but in today's NBA you look for a little bit more out of a starting PG.

He's a lot like a Michael Carter-Williams... who won ROY. Or maybe a rookie Tyreke Evans - also ROY. In general it's easier for PGs to win ROY for the same reason it's easier for them to look good in Summer League. Towns is clearly the better player, but that doesn't mean he'll win ROY. Damon Stoudamire won ROY over Kevin Garnett, let us not forget.
 
I had Drummond on my fantasy team last year and he was a disappointment. I decided to roll the dice and take him again, now that Monroe is not on the Pistons, and it's paying off bigtime. The guy is tearing it up.

Similarly, I had the Greek Freak on my team last year and he was okay, but he's dominating this year. Both of those guys are carrying my team, along with Westbrook.
 
Wholy hell Jae Crowder on Boston just drained a full court bucket from the out of bounds pass the entire length of the court with 1.1 seconds left in the half. Doesn't count since it was an inbounds but was crazy to see.
