Ok, this is not the outcome I was looking for.  How does Kevin Durant pull this off. I mean he had a great year, he avg 20.3 pts a game the most from a rookie since Carmelo Anthony.  But the way he played did not get his team even close to the playoffs this year.  Sure he was second in the draft but Al Horford of the Atlanta Hawks rookie years was much more impressive.  Durant’s excellent season was wasted by the Sonics.  The Sonics had the worst record in the Western Conference, they only won 20 games. Yes, I admit that at first I saw Durant as this years ROY, after Greg Odem went down he was the likely chose, but his year was nothing like Horford’s year.   The voters who voted must be smoking the same stuff as Josh Howard or they are blind if they couldn’t see that the true rookie needed to Al Horford.  He did place second and Luis Scola placed third from the Houston Rockets.
