NBA Rookies: The Rookie Watch
By InsideHoops.com | Sept. 14, 2006
INSIDEHOOPS.COM ROOKIE OF YEAR FAVORITES:
1) Adam Morrison (Charlotte Bobcats) --
A scoring machine, Morrison will immediately be handed the rock and given
a green light to shoot and score. He'll be the team's first scoring option
and clearly should get huge minutes all season, which makes him the initial
InsideHoops.com favorite for Rookie of the Year.
2) Brandon Roy (Portland Trail Blazers) --
There's an opening at shooting guard in Portland, and Roy can immediately
step in and do big things across the stat board. Roy is probably the most
talented rookie, but because Zach Randolph is the team's first offensive
option we're giving Morrison a very, very slight edge in our initial rankings.
3) Randy Foye (Minnesota Timberwolves) --
Foye's an awesome swingman who like Roy can contribute immediately. He'll
have to, especially with Rashad McCants injured to start the season. Our only
concern is that with Kevin Garnett, Mike James and Ricky Davis on the Wolves,
Foye has a harder road to stardom than Morrison or Roy.
LEGIT SHOT AT AWARD:
4) Rudy Gay (Memphis Grizzlies) --
Traded for Shane Battier, Gay was already looking to do big things. Now with
Pau Gasol out for the first few months of the season, Gay will need to step
up and should have every opportunity to fill the stat sheet.
5) Andrea Bargnani (Toronto Raptors) --
Taken first overall in the Draft, Bargnani isn't necessarily ready to play
full-game minutes, but we feel the Raptors will try anyway. The big forward
may be used at center alongside Chris Bosh. Although he could have an
immediate impact, it's equally possible he'll be brought along slowly.
ALSO NOTABLE:
6) Shelden Williams (Atlanta Hawks) --
The Hawks have no dominant power forward or center, and Shelden has every
opportunity to command major minutes. But we see him more as a very good
role player than a star. Williams should be excellent at blocking shots,
rebounding and playing defense.
7) LaMarcus Aldridge (Portland Trail Blazers) --
With Jamaal Magloire and Joel Przybilla at center and Zach Randolph at power
forward, Aldridge should have a tough time getting enough minutes to be more
than a modest bench contributor.
8) Tyrus Thomas (Chicago Bulls) --
The Bulls have Ben Wallace at center and PJ Brown can do great role player
things at power forward. Tyrus Thomas is somewhere in between the three and
four spots. Luol Deng is the team's main small forward, and Andres Nocioni
plays either forward spot. Thomas has the athletic ability to star, but his
actual game is still in development.
9 Ronnie Brewer (Utah Jazz) --
Brewer's more ready to do big things than many realize. Athletic and
talented, Brewer can have an immediate impact if given the minutes.
Other Rookies Worth Mentioning:
Patrick O'Bryant (Golden State Warriors) should be good but not great.
Saer Sene (Seattle Sonics) is extremely raw and still developing his
basketball skills, though he already blocks shots like crazy.
I expect JJ Redick (Orlando Magic) to be a support player and outside shooter
who takes a back seat to Dwight Howard, Darko Milicic, Grant Hill and company.
Rodney Carney (Philadelphia 76ers) is extremely talented but he'll be
competing for playing time with Andre Iguodala (who he won't beat) and
Kyle Korver (who he might).
Both Hilton Armstrong (New Orleans/OKC Hornets) and Cedric Simmons (also
Hornets) have potential to do nice things but David West occupies the power
forward spot, and the two play split time with each other and Tyson Chandler
so it's tough to say which one will stand out.
Jordan Farmar (Los Angeles Lakers) could steal Smush Parker's starting job,
in which case he'd be in the top 5-10.
Marcus Williams (New Jersey Nets) is good but he'll play behind Jason Kidd,
seriously limiting his minutes.
