Murphy13 185 Report post Posted October 25, 2017 There are a lot of good looking rooks this early in the season. Some were expected to play well and have (DSJ), others have yet to make an impact (Fultz) while some are taking the league by surprise (Markkanen). So, who is taking the award this year-3 games in? My guess is Ben Simmons, but it's a long season. Who is a breakout star as a rookie to you? Where do we see Isaac among the core of this seemingly solid rookie class?

Mauro Pedrosa 1,031 Report post Posted October 25, 2017 Ben Simmons was my pick before the season and I see no reason to change it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Odin 137 Report post Posted October 25, 2017 It's not going to be Isaac. I am going to wait a bit to make my pick though. It looks like there are lots of good rookies this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fultz4thewin 2,464 Report post Posted October 25, 2017 Isaac is playing about as well as you'd expect. wild swings between terrible and great on defense. solid spot up game. Occasionally he'll take his man off the dribble like he did yesterday. In a month he'll be a solid perimeter defender that bothers some shots at the rim. in a year, once he gets some strength, he'll be a great defender against most players. his offensive ceiling is all going to depend on mentality.

Oh sure, he just looks like a rookie this year, which is fine. There are just a bunch of rookies making a lot of noise this year and one of them is going to win.

Murphy13 185 Report post Posted October 25, 2017 He's in a unique situation where he will be getting a lot of airtime being on the Celtics. If he goes a full season of playing well and they are top 1-2 seeds then there's a chance he'll be a finalist for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fultz4thewin 2,464 Report post Posted October 25, 2017 I think once Morris comes back that's going to hamper Tatum's minutes a bunch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
