Simmons is averaging more Pts, Rebs and Ast but I would take Tatum. Simmons has a horrible FG%, FT% and he has a 0% from 3 pt because he hasn't shot one yet. Simmons will win ROY but Tatum is a more polished player.Tatum has a stunning...50/80/50. 50% FG, 80 FT and 50 3pt. FIFTY % from 3 is crazy because it's not like he's only playing 15 minutes. He's playing over 30 minutes a game. This tells me he takes good shots and is patient.

He is at 18.0 pts, 9.8 reb, 8.2 ast, 0.7 blk and 1.6 stl. Tatum is playing well but not that well. As for his 3pt%, it is early in the season. There are 15 players at 50% or better. Don't expect any of them to remain that high. Strangely Pau Gasol topped the league at 53.8% last season with Korver 2nd at 45.1%.
I mean I am also a homer, but I think the rookies are: 1.) Simmons, 2.) Markkannen, 3.) Tatum, 4.) Kuzma, 5.) Dillon Brooks, 6.) Fox, 7.) Mike JamesTatum and Kuzma are neck and neck, but Tatum's efficiency is more valuable in my opinion.
