re: Chances that Buddy Hield is Rookie of the Year?

i'd say odds wise he's behind Simmons, Ingram and Dunn

I'd say he's behind Simmons and Ingram, not Dunn.

Simmons is already philly's best player by default.

If they don't move Rubio or Lavine, Dunn is going to be coming off the bench at first and he's going to be arguably their 4th best player (behind KAT, Wiggins, and Lavine - rubio won't shoot much).

Ingram is going to be their 2nd or 3rd best player, but he has to get the ball from Russell, Clarkson, and maybe a max-free agent.

Hield is going to be the 3rd or 4th best player behind AD, Tyreke, and Jrue. EG was our player with the 4th most FGA, so Hield could realistically fit into that slot with Ryno gone and us not going to land a stud SF.
