Oden for ROY next season?

[yosifun]

I don't see a reason why not.
He won't be playing even one game this year and if he plays damn good next year he should be a ROY candidate.

What do you think?

[benji]

Who exactly is arguing that he can't possibly be ROY next year? Or is this just a strawman?

[D12]

I think he can be ROY becuase he will be sophmore.

[yosifun]

@benji, some people will argue that he will be a sophomore next year and that's why can't be ROY next year.

@D12, did you mean "can't be ROY"?

If he doesnt play any games, next year will be his rookie season.

Did you just make this thread to show off your knowledge about rookie rules? Or is this a backwards way of asking if he would still be a rookie next year, without admitting that you don't know?

Either way, his 13-9 that he will put up next season won't be good enough for ROTY. That honor will go to Michael Beasley, Eric Gordon or OJ Mayo.

ROY '08 = Michael Beasley

on topic: Oden will have a chance, but he won't even be the best post player on his team (Aldridge) next year...

I made this thread because I thought it would be a nice argument and also because I wanted people to post their thoughts about it, I didn't intend to "show off" anything...
