Thought exercise: if Julius Randle turned out to be a total stud this year (a possibility), and he outplayed all the “real” rookies, would the NBA cave in and make him rookie of the year? They already bent the rules a little bit for Blake Griffin, who played in the preseason before missing an entire regular season. Everybody felt bad for him and then he was a beast in his second year so they gave him the award. It’s not hard to see that happening again, because when you watch a dude go down in his first NBA game, your inborn sense of fairness kicks in and you feel like garbage.
Does fourteen minutes of playing time even count? That’s like how long I spent editing this video. Thirty minutes, I could see that counting. But fourteen? I once spent fourteen minutes trying to open a bottle of Gatorade.
