One of the biggest arguments that Mobley has over both Barnes and Cunningham is that three of the past five Rookie of the Year winners have all helped their teams reach the playoffs in their rookie seasons.
Barnes, Cunningham Not To Be Counted Out
Aside from the playoff argument that Mobley holds over Barnes and Cunningham, their numbers are speaking for themselves as both of them are averaging more points per game than Mobley.
Barnes is currently averaging 15.1 ppg, 8.3 rpg, and 3.3 apg while Cunningham is going for 15.8 ppg, 6.2 rpg, and 4.6 apg. The playoff argument does hold true value here as Cunningham’s stats could prove more valuable than Barnes, but with the worst record in the league, he sits behind him on the odds board.
If both of them could begin to translate their stats into team wins, they could contend with Mobley for the top spot, but until then, Mobley has a firm lock on the shortest NBA ROY odds.
