They'd be in the same spot. 4-6 seed.

Simmons just became my second favorite young player behind Ingram.

I hate the stats pushing of this era. People don't take team make up or positions into play.
It's he " averages more assist and rebounds better " so he has to be the better player. The same mindset that has people saying Russ is better then curry. Stats ain't everything.

Coaching: Jazz
Roster?
Embiid is better than Gobert, Gobert gives you the same defensive impact.
Favors and Saric should be a wash.
Ingles and Covington are about a wash.
Rubio and Riddick is a wash in terms of impact.
Let them split the award
Then are we going to retroactively take brogdons award away and give it to saric, who was the best player on the team even after embiid went down and had better #s.
Anyway the worse team argument is stupid. So because the Jazz don’t have a GM better than Colangelo, Mitchell should be ROTY. Because the sixers have planned ahead and have a better plan
TJ mcconnell as the PG took the sixers to 28 wins with Embiid. Simmons has them at 50+. The sixers without Simmons aren’t getting to 50 wins regardless of how good embiid is

Should be Co Roy like Kidd and hill.

Being the number one scorer on a playoff team in the west as a rookie is insane.

How is he a rookie? He’s had NBA strength training, NBA conditioning, NBA meal prep, got used to NBA travel was playing with them. It goes on and on. Ben Simmons is not a rookie.

28/31 isn't too shabby
Or you know the team isn’t constructed well and also the west is weaker than people wanna push all the time. Thunder, Kawhi less Spurs, wolves etc. those don’t strike me as strong teams. The 4-8 of the west and 5-8 of the East are all comparable

Agree with this, gets brought up every year
Up to the nba to decide and make a change where if you’re drafted and decide to sit, get injured, etc that your next season doesn’t count as a rookie season especially for the award
This race reminds me of smell vs Lebron in 03 except Simmons has just been nasty outside of not being an actual rookie.
Simmons if it was his rookie year, he’s winner hands down but yea silver needs to do something

That criteria is terrible in the first place, and no. Mitchell landed in the best possible situation for himself. "Here Donovan, we need you to take the ball and shoot. We'll just be over here playing great defense."
Ben's situation is also great. But comparing "more with less" is such a dumb road to go down. Donovan and Ben are great. Period. You don't need to twist yourself into knots to say someone is in a bad situation to prove their greatness. (using the "royal you" here)

Mitchell seems like he’s gonna win the players ROY award.

I disagree
He has a broken foot and wasn’t clear to start activities until March. So that’s 7 months of down time. Meanwhile college players are playing that entire time. And let’s not act like too div 1 teams don’t have great facilities

Seats from the Knicks game I went to. Sucks that Giannis didn't play but I got to ask the guy who owns a part of the Bucks a few questions which was mad cool.

There’s no comparison to being on an NBA roster to playing college basketball.
Different terminology. Different environments.
