Emeka Okafor is going to win Rookie of the Year...

...according to a "source."

I really don't follow professional basketball, but I have to ask, is there anyone else this year who might have beaten Emeka? Seems like he had a damn good year.

1. I thought the front runner was Ben Gordon/CHI

Fine with me, though. I've got Okafor in a fantasy keeper league.

2. Like I said, it was from a "source."

I like Emeka...hope he really does win.

3. who'll receive r.o.y. honors in the nhl this season?

7. Prosim!

Might as well mix up the languages!

4. had he started the whole year

Nenad Krstic would have warranted consideration. He averaged 10 and 5 this year for the Nets.

He also averaged 18 and 8 in the playoffs against Shaq.

Not too shabby. Where was Okafor in the playoffs?

8. I understand he DID, in fact, win R-O-Y...

Good to see a Bobcat come through that way...and he deserved it!:D

Now, if they'll just draft a Carolina player in June...:eyes:

B-)

9. He just won--congratulations Emeka!

Ben Gordon was second--514 to 433. Not that close, I guess.

10. That's what I get for listening to Barkley & Smith

[joeybee12]

11. That's right!

Two UCONN alum in the top two--that in itself is something.

12. Add in Kwame Brown's flameout

where it was "mutually agreed" that he wouldn't play the rest of the playoffs, maybe teams will start giving the benefits of college experience more credit.

13. Guess Okefor was the first in four years to win who had come straight

from college...
