I never thought it was fair to include him in rookie discussions, he's not a true rookie. Yea he didnt play last year but a year of NBA training and coaching gives him a huge advantage over the true rookies imo
You are going to continue with the horrible replies huh? NOBODY was saying this shyt when Blake Griffin was playing in his second season and won the award.
That might turn out to be a huge mistake in a few years.He should be playing with AD
He's a rookie, he didn't even get to start doing a lot of court work until the season was almost over last year. Dude didn't play a single solitary NBA minute last year, so he's a rookie.
As for Nerlens he's getting a lot better on offense, Mirotic, Nerlens and Payton have been playing really well.

BG stole that award from John Wall. I remember that cuz im Wizards fan when was the last time a Wizard player won an award for anything?

It just never made sense to me. You ask 30 teams "Would you like your cornerstones to be two athletic 7 footers who'll swat everything their way?" 29 of them say yes and the other is Pelicans.
Wiggins has this wrapped up (I'll never judge ROY on wins because a lot are just thrown into bad situations at the start of their career), but I really like Noel. I'd only pick the Greek Freak and Gobert over him in his draft class.
You are a terrible poster, stop quoting me with your bs
Nah breh, BG won that award easy that year. John Wall was a turnover machine, couldn't shoot, and didn't know how to control himself on the court. I saw it at Kentucky, dude was out of control most of the time

His rookie season was last year he just happened to be hurt and you can't discount the growth a player has just by being in a NBA locker room. He didn't touch the court but this is his 2nd year in the league...
Jrue Holiday is a good player, so I can understand why the Pelicans would trade an injured Noel for him. The problem with the Pelicans is that they have too many guards who dominate the ball. That team needs a new coach and shift some of that guard heavy roster they have out.It just never made sense to me.

How was his rookie season last year? He didn't play a single minute in the NBA
You're literally arguing with the NBA about their own definition of what they view as a rookie, I mean what the fukk.
