It was announced on Wednesday that Blake Griffin won the Rookie of the Year Award. He got all 118 first place votes. It got the most votes in this award since Brandon Roy got all but 1 in 2006-07. Blake Griffin was hurt and missed all season last year. This he shocked everyone and had the best rookie year since probably LeBron James, even LeBron James wasn't an All-Star in his rookie year and Griffin was. John Wall came in 2nd and DeMarcus Cousins came in 3rd. I agree with the top 3. I think though Evan Turner should have gotten some 2nd and 3rd place votes, he didn't get any votes at all. Blake Griffin averaged 22.5 points per game (1st among rookies), 12.1 rebounds per game (1st among rookies), 3.8 assists per game (2nd among rookies). John Wall averaged 16.4 points per game (2nd among rookies), 4.6 rebounds per game (6th among rookies), 8.3 assists per game (1st among rookies). DeMarcus Cousins averaged 14.1 points per game (3rd among rookies), 8.6 rebounds per game (2nd among rookies), 2.5 assists per game (6th among rookies). Blake Griffin can't win this award again obviously. Though Blake Griffin will probably compete for future MVPs, to be one of the best forwards in the NBA and continue to be chosen to be an All-Star.
