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?

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.

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.

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.
