ROY Update

Up to 65 debuts after welcoming Patrick Christopher (Jazz) and Adrein Payne (Hawks).

Julius Randle (14.0) is 23rd in MPG.  Ahead of him: Wiggins (31.8), Noel (30.1), Parker (29.5), Payton (25.8), McDaniels (25.3), LaVine (25.1), Papanickolau (23.6), Bogdanovic (22.8), Napier (21.0), Smart (19.7), Exum (18.4), Mirotic (18.4), Hood (18.2), Ingles (16.7), Black (15.7), Rudez (15.4), Hairston (15.2), Gordon (15.0), Grant (14.9), Anderson (14.3), Ennis (14.1), Harris (14.0)

Bogdanovic has fallen off considerably in the last 3 weeks.  LaVine is still hanging.  Expect Smart's minutes to creep up.  Tarik Black moves from the Rockets to the Lakers and his numbers don't fall at all.  Good to see Gordon back up there, the Magic have a lot of guys that want minutes, not sure if he'll get up to 20 MPG.  Grant, Anderson, Ennis and Harris are getting legit minutes.

Wiggins still the top candidate for ROY with Noel and Payton really the ones likely to get enough minutes to make a difference.  Expect Parker to get votes, he may well end up looking like the best rookie.  McDaniels, Mirotic, LaVine, Bogdanovic and Papanickolau should all get some love from the voters.  That said, this really is a deep class, a lot of good young players that will play for a decade or more.
