Opinion: Malcolm Brogdon is the NBA Rookie of the Year

If you disagree with the above statement, you are probably living within the Philadelphia city limits or think players are only as good as points per game...or heaven forbid, both.

Nah, but seriously. With the regular season drawing to a close, voters have to submit their NBA ballots by 11:59pm on Friday. So here’s the deal.

No first year player is providing more to their team right now than Brogdon is to the Milwaukee Bucks. If you take Philadelphia’s Joel Embiid out of the equation due to the fact that he only played 31 games this season, it comes down to Philadelphia 76er Dario Saric or Malcolm “The Prez” Brogdon.
