Lamelo Ball wins ROTY?

Because Jordan hasn’t shown that he can make smart decisions consistently. Getting Lamelo was pure luck by jumping into the top 3 of the draft. We could go as far back as 2005 and see who this franchise passed up on in the draft. But, let’s just go to 2017 and check. Jordan passed on Donovan Mitchell, Michael Porter Jr, and Tyler Herro. Imagine if we had all those 3 guys on this team right now. GSW nailed the drafts in 3 out of 4 straight years to create that dynasty and luring Durant to come there. That’s why Curry never left. Also, Curry’s career didn’t start out great like Melo. It took him couple years to finally put it all together and become the Curry we all know today. GSW might be a small market but being in San Francisco is a lot different than in CLT. 

Wrong. Jordan hired Mitch who began to turn it around BEFORE LaMelo. It's a good situation because the groundwork was laid beforehand. The Hornets aren't all of a sudden the squad because of a lucky #3. 

Mitch will continue until you eat crow. Center, Center, Center.

Soo happy for Melo

I'm sure Timberwolves fans are pissed but Melo was the clear winner. Even if he missed a lot of time

I love this. If you haven’t seen how Lamelo found out he won it, enjoy this video.

Congratulations are extended to Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball who was named the NBA's Rookie of the Year, capping a stellar first season.

I just hope the Hornets continue to build around him and not let his vast talents go by the way side.

Anybody who saw a minute of the Hornets with LaMelo on the court could see he was far and away the best rookie in the league. I’m glad we got him.
