Just sitting here watching te news and hearing people talk about whos gonna have a big impact in their rookie season and who isnt. I just wanted to have an idea of what yall think. I am looking out for Rashad McCants up in minnesaota to do big things this year seeing that they arent very strong there so he might get lots of opportuntities. what do you think?

chris paul. i know it's only preseason but the stats that he's put up so far have been pretty good - 9.2 ppg, 6.8 apg, 2.00 spg while shooting 58% (7-12) from 3 pt range.

i also think he will be productive year even tho people say he's undersized and the bigger PGs will just bully him around. how they gonna bully him if they cant stay in front of him?
i think charlie villanueva is gonna be a sleeper. he's been putting up awesome numbers in the preseason. if he gets the minutes, i'm sure he'll be productive. i had no idea that dude had range
He has an amazing camp and pre-season. The guy will be the 6th man at the beginning of the year but who knows? He might be a starter by the end of the year.
he's putting up around 11 ppg in 20 minutes this preaseason. second leading scorer on that team behind kg so hopefully that can get him an opening day start which he can (will) hold for the year.
I think Paul is gonna end up winning it. he is definitely starting over speedy claxton, and has some players who can finish his assists(JR, Mason, Birdman) and a godo 3 point shooter to feed some passes to (Macijauskas)
Hakim Warrick is probably considered the most underrated rookie so far this year at least on these boards. He is ranked like 9th right now as of being ROY for this season and has been having one of the best pre-seasons so far for rookies. The only thing that's keeping him away from the award is PT, and he may end up recieving alot since Brian Cardinal is recovering from knee surgery so most likely Warrick will be backing up Gasol.
my vote goes to Charlie V, he's averaging 16ppg at 0.481 %. I don't think anybody expected this except for the Raptor fans. Rashard McCants is also doing a good job.
I would say Charlie, but he's playing 30 mpg... which is like 10 more than the next closest rookie. On the other end of the scale, we've got Channing Frye playing 19mpg and putting up 11/5 and shooting .528
