Rookie Of The Year
Tyreke Evans -
Evans has a fan in one opponent -- Kobe Bryant. After escaping Sacramento with a 106-99 win Tuesday night, Kobe praised his fellow Philly native, who just missed his second career triple-double but still tallied his fourth straight double-double. "I think Tyreke is a grown man," Bryant said. "I might be a little bit biased because he is from Philadelphia. Philly guys have an all-around game and that's just how it is."

There's one aspect to Curry's game he knows he needs to work on -- knocking down the clutch shots. In the Warriors' 124-121 loss to the Lakers on Monday, Curry put up big numbers (29 points and nine assists), but came up short with the game on the line. With Golden State down three with a chance to tie, Curry -- who had hit 5 of 8 3-pointers -- missed an open trey to tie the game. After the game, Curry "It's something Kobe had to work at, and you see where he's at now," Curry said in the San Francisco Chronicle. "I'm not saying he and I are both going to be shooting 90 percent on game-winners, but I'll definitely work on it and get more comfortable with taking big shots."
Darren Collison -
G | MPG | PPG | RPG | APG | SPG | BPG | FG% | 3P% | FT% |
62 | 25.9 | 11.2 | 2.4 | 5.4 | 1.0 | 0.1 | .461 | .356 | .840 |
When it comes to this rookie class, there's no shortage of speed. Denver's Ty Lawson, Dallas' Rodrigue Beaubois, Portland's Patty Mills (who hasn't seen much playing time after an early injury) would all have to be in the discussion. But Collison says there's no debate -- he's the fastest among ALL players. Collison had this to say in the most recent issue of HOOP magazine: "I definitely think I'm the fastest player. I got a chance to watch Ty Lawson's game and he is probably up there. I'd definitely say I'm the fastest." For the record, Knicks point guard Toney Douglas was the fastest rookie in pre-Draft workouts -- according to DraftExpress -- while Collison was fourth behind Texas forward Damion James (who backed out of the draft) and Mills.

Those for me are your top 3 picks, I believe Tyreke Evans will win Rookie of the year with Steph Curry running him close.
