Rachel Nichols, Brian Windhorst and Matt Barnes discuss whether New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson still has a chance to beat Memphis Grizzlies guard for 2019-20 NBA Rookie of the Year, a race that brings up memories of the year Milwaukee Bucks guard Malcolm Brogdon edged out Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid.

Zion has lived up to the hype in the 10 games he played. But man he can’t win ROTY over Ja Morant. That would be a disgrace if people like Brian Windhorst robbed Ja from winning it

If Zion carries the Pelicans over the Grizzlies to the 8th seed, he has a case.

First of all i like both Players. They are both awesome. NBA ROY is an Award for the Top new player of the regular saison. It`s not for the Rookie who plays the most games. So the question must be who is the better player?
you scooper

Ja Morant is not just an impact player..he is already a star in his own right, leading a supposedly rubbish Grizzlies into playoff contention..so Ja definitely deserved the nod for ROY

The only way I would give the roy to zion over ja is if with his help the pelicans achieve that 8th spot and he continues this numbers. If not Ja Morant is our ROY 100%

imagine this was reversed. imagine the pelicans were in the playoffs, that zion had buzzer beaters to win games, blocked another superstar at the buzzer, had one of the top 10 plays of the year, and had played the entire year. no one would be arguing for ja to win it.
zion media hype is carrying him to awards he shouldnt win. they better not do it.
fully up

Ja suppose to get it…he a beast also…spectacular…zion is also the truth but need more games…who knows if his averages would be the same…he has to play more than half the games…ja..u win

The only possible scenario for Zion to win ROY would be an unlucky season ending injury for Ja

“I can’t remember the last time I was excited by a player as much as I have been excited by Zion.”
What about Luka? That wasn’t too long ago. Although if you have memory like that, its no wonder that you’ll forget theres a worthy ROTY winner in Ja Morant and give it off to Zion.
