Well, I was watching ESPN this morning and they reported that Kevin Durant should be named the NBA's Rookie Of The Year. WHAT? C'mon, Durant. Now I must admit that he had a nice rookie campaign, but to me the real ROY should be Atlanta's Al Horford.
There will be some people who will tell you that I'm looking at this with orange & blue glasses. Yes, I wear the orange & blue with pride, but Horford has the stats to claim this years rookie prize.
Durant did put up 20.3 ppg. & he averaged about one more dish than #42, but look at Horford. Big Al put up 10.1 ppg, pulled down 9.7 boards, and fed teammates at a 1.5 clip. Plus he helped his team into the playoffs. The only place Durant is leading his team is to Oklahoma. Al Horford has also raised his game so far in the NBA's second season. His stats are, 12.8/9.7/1.5.
Yes, I'm sure some people will say that Kevin is the NBA's future, and he is marketed well by Upper Deck. But, Al Horford is a key piece THIS SEASON, for his team, and should be the Rookie Of The Year.
I welcome your thoughts.
