    Default Kemba Walker gets votes in ROY Balloting

    Am I delusional, or did Kemba Walker have a better season that 3 third place votes? http://denver.sbnation.com/denver-nu...d-kyrie-irving

    http://aol.sportingnews.com/nba/stor...land-cavaliers

    The AOL link is the original, but the dude from SB Nation put things in a damn table like a normal person. No argument from me on Kyrie Irving winning, but come on, Kemba wasn't that bad, was he?

    I wouldn't have voted for Kemba. I do think he could have had a much better season if we'd have had an actual system for him to learn to run/get him good shots...but that's beside the point on what actually happened.

    He had every bit as good a rookie season as Brandon Knight, but there were too many things conspiring against him to garner any real votes. That said, he still wasn't a top 3 rookie so it really doesn't matter much

    I just dont see how Brandon Knight had almost identical numbers but got alot more votes.....its w/e just cuz he doesnt win rookie of the year doesnt mean he'll suck....Kemba will be a good player for us

    Sportswriters...guys just like our own Rick Bonnell...vote for this right?

    That's how.

    Kyrie looked the best of the bunch to me. Guy who deserved it won. All that matters.

    And just right BBF...no one should take it as such.

    Kemba rightfully deserved some of the third place votes he got. In the end I have no arguments with the winner or how the votes ended up.

    Kyrie
    Rubio
    Faried
    Kawhi
    Isaiah

    all had clearly better and/or more impressive rookie seasons if you ask me. I'd probably say Kemba was the 8-10 or so best rookie, which is totally fine by me... he was the 9th pick after all

    you could almost argue that Biyombo had a better season than Walker did.
