yeah but I don't think Gordon and Josh Smith have chances for the ROY Award....It's a race between Emeka and Dwight

Captain Obvious · 12-21-2004, 07:37 AM

I think Okafor, barring injury, has this locked up. He's been even better than I thought he was going to be and I really like Okafor.

Yeah, Okafor is playing like a badass and even though I think Dwight's numbers, specifically ppg, will rise steadily a bit as the year goes on, he's just not going to get the PT and FG attempts with all the guys on this team right now to catch Okafor. Unless Emeka goes into a slump for a long stretch, I think he's nearly got ROY wrapped up.

Okafor 1 and Howard 2 again.

Okafor isn't out of reach yet, but he is starting to move away. Dwight will still have a shot if he gets the numbers closer because he is playing a role on one of the best teams in the East, but he is going to have to pick up it.

Okafor with 12 straight double-doubles at one point. Pretty impressive.

Dwight is falling behind in the race. Looks like ROY is Meka's award to lose at this point. 16 straight double-doubles and a number of 20+ point games. Okafor lately has been nothing short of great for the overachieving Bobcats while Howard has maintained his steady 10-10 type pace most of the year.

Emeka and Dwight 1-2 again.

Interesting and impressive on Emeka -

Quote:

Breakdown: Has registered 16 consecutive double-doubles, the most by a rookie since Shaquille O'Neal had 15 straight for the Orlando Magic during the 1992-93 season. Grabbed a career-high 11 offensive rebounds against New York on Dec. 26.

Don't you think that if Dwight was playing on expancion team his stats would be much better?
Right now ROY is Okafor, but I hope Dwight will have better second half of the season and moreover his team would be in playoffs...

There's no question Dwight's stats would be better if he were on the Bobcats rather than the Magic, but like Okafor I don't think you'd see him scoring at a very high efficiency. Howard would have more plays being ran for him in the half court, and would really have to carry the majority of the offensive load for the team, which would take its toll on Howard's FG%. Regardless, I don't really care what Dwight's stats are as long as he's doing his job for the Magic and the team is winning. Okafor probably has the award locked up to this point, I don't see Howard, Deng or Gordon even close to him right now.

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.

Guess who is 1-2?

Dwight better watch out, Deng and Gordon coming on strong.

Particularly Gordon. He doesn't do anything really well besides score, but on the Bulls that's his role and he plays it well. He's a nice scoring punch off the bench, already one of the top 6th men in the league.

Idunkonyou · 01-20-2005, 01:43 AM

Its between Howard and Okafor. Its Okafor's to lose as of right now.

Howard claims the top spot with Okafor falling off with his injury.

"Has been held to less than 10 rebounds in three straight games."

That I don't like. He needs to start hitting the boards like he was earlier this year. Dwight might need a prolonged injury for Okafor to have a shot at ROY.
