Dunn or Murray
Too often, we judge other groups by their worst examples while judging ourselves by our best intentions.
Apparently you can bet on ROY. Ben Simmons has top odds followed by Buddy Hield and Brandon Ingram. Embiid is 7th. Jaylen Brown is tied for 12th with a bunch of other guys. (Bender, Malachi Ricahrdson, Caris LeVert, Brice Johnson)

I think it all comes down to the top 3 picks here. Ben Simmons in Philly, Brandon Ingram in LA, and Jaylen Brown in Boston. Let's think about who has the best chance to start, best supporting cast and what system supports each player the best chance statistically to earn ROY.I would think it would be Ben Simmons or Brandon Ingram because they are going to be clear cut starters but if Brad Stevens finds a way to fit Brown in the lineup he could have a shot at ROY

As far as I know, it is your first year of being employed by an NBA franchise. A player who plays an entire season in the D-League would not be a rookie the next season. That goes for sitting the bench or injured as well.Baseball and the NHL have weird rookie rules, I've never heard of any in the NBA or NFL.
Why stop there? I think he'll be finals* MVP!
