Message: [QUOTE="azfan, post: 3252318, member: 7748"] This is the real essence of the challenge of postseason player awards whether it's an MVP or rookie of the year or defensive player of the year. In the case of rookie of the year I guess it's important that we all realize that's a subjective judgment as to who is the best. And statistics are not always the complete evidence for which player is the best. I'm thinking about the discussion of Pheesa's outstanding defense. Often that defense even with advanced metrics is difficult to quantify. Also the relative strengths of the teams the rookies are assigned to can also be a challenge to incorporate into the analysis. At this point of the top three rookies I still would guess the distance between the top two is very narrow. [/QUOTE]
