Rookie Rankings: Jan. 10, 2005
Emeka and Dwight 1-2 yet again.
Emeka running away with a very good recent stretch, although he has slowed a bit starting with the Orlando game.
The ROY is definitely not out of reach for Dwight, but Dwight will need a big second half of the season and Okafor will need to slow just a bit. If Dwight can narrow the PPG gap, he might at least have a shot at Co-ROY since he will get some credit for being an important piece of a decently seeded playoff team.
Also, Varejao makes an appearance on the list -
Quote:
8. Anderson Varejao, F, Cleveland (No. 30)
Stats: 4.5 PPG, 3.9 RPG, 0.3 APG (8.7 PRA)
Upcoming: vs. Cha. (1/11), at Lakers (1/13), at Uta. (1/15), at Sea. (1/16)
Breakdown: His New Year's resolution may have read something like this: Rebound! Varejao has grabbed 33 rebounds over the last three games after snagging only 43 for the entire month of December. An upcoming six-game Western Conference trip may tap in to some of that excess energy he's shown recently.
