Here's a tweaked version that filters out players < 20 minutes floor time. Beal is off to a slow start.

Just a quick comparison of Waiters v Lillard. I know Davis will probably walk away with the ROY award, unless Lillard keeps this pace up, but if we take him out of the equation for now.

I bolded where I thought Dion had an advantage. Its not always in the numbers, but the efficiency. The red is kind of alarming for Lilliards case.

Lillard has the scoring & assist edge, but he is given 8 minutes more a game. However, he is turning the ball over more per game.

Waiters has better overall defense with some stats to back it up. Not to mention outside of FT%, he is shooting a much better percentage than Lillard. I also read somewhere that he is making just as many shots as Lillard with 3 fewer attempts per game, but bc of the missed FT opportunities over 4 games he is behind in the point total

[Jack Brickman]

Lillard's minutes played are insane. I feel like Portland is trying to kill the kid.

[Douglar]

Lillard's minutes played are insane. I feel like Portland is trying to kill the kid.

Here's the math:

A top player on the team + no PG depth behind him = lots of minutes for Lillard

Waiter would get a lot more minutes too if Gibson wasn't on the team. As it is, Gibson's looking like a reasonable rotation player this year. This bench lineup's been pretty effective: A. Gee | D. Gibson | K. Irving | A. Varejao | T. Zeller

Here's a link to the 2nd year players with more than 20 minutes. http://bkref.com/tiny/dyIdG Kanter's having a rough start..

[The Voice]

Jonas V wouldn't be bad to put up there. I know he was drafted last year, but he's still a rookie.

[BannerYearz]

Ya Lillard needs to be on the list

Dude might end up contending for ROTY

MKG has to get some decent votes solely due to the kind of improvement Charlotte has shown this year.

[UncleDrew]

Lillard gets ROTY, he's been the best rookie so far.

[The Voice]

Lillard gets ROTY, he's been the best rookie so far.

I'd say wait a few months before we start anointing someone ROTY. We don't know who's going to get hurt or if someone will fall off. Thus, far he's in the running.
