Nets
1. Okafor led all rookies in scoring, rebounding and block. Can you say ROY? He has the totoal package and and will be a superstar in SSBA. 22.3ppg and 10.6rpg.
Mavs
2. Araujo won the first ROM award in SSBA. Mavs got him in a trade that involved Finley and Pavel. MavsGM likes the inside scoring he sees in Araujo and he didn't disappointed. But lately, he has been in a lot of foul trouble. One thing he needs to work on in the offseason is lose some weight and get quicker. 18.6ppg and 9.5rpg.
Magic
3. Howard only 17 years old and already had a nice inside game. He surprised a lot of people on how well he had played so far this season. 14.4ppg and 7.1rpg.
Bulls
4. Gordon won the MVP award for his excellent played in the rook/soph game. He is deadly from outside the arc .410%. At 6'3, Gordon is too small to play sg, but the Bulls already had Hinrich at pg. It remains to be seen what the Bulls do with Gordon. 13.7ppg, 5.3rpg and 4.3apg.
Bucks
5. Iggy from college sf to nba pg. Iggy surprised lot of people on how well he had done at pg, but I still think the BucksGM made a mistake by moving him to pg. He has perfect size for sg and not enough handle for pg. 11.9ppg, 4.6rpg and 5.4apg in only 26.5 minutes.
Warriors
6. Biedrins also 17 years old and like Howard, he also had a good inside game. He needs to work on his FT shooting. 12ppg and 6.8rpg.
Nets/Mavs
7. After the rook/soph game, Nets traded Hump to the Mavs for cap relief next season. Hump was in a tough situation in New Jersey because they had Okafor and Boozer. Hump will be a nice addition to the Mavs. 13.6ppg and 6.0rpg.
Hornets
8. Childress was traded to the Hornets because of the Hawks' GM dislike his fro. Are you kidding me? HawksGM will regret this move because Childress is one of the best rookie sf. Childress is having a nice season for the Hornets and will be a first team all rookies selection. 10.7ppg and 5.4rpg.
Honorable Mention:
Deng - Bull
Jefferson - Celtics
Pavel - Raptors
Sow - Wolves
Smith - Rockets
