Dynasty Five's ROOKIE OF THE YEARANDREW WIGGINS Charlotte HornetsThe 2015 Rookie of the Year is awarded to Andrew Wiggins of the Charlotte Hornets (GM: James Kay)!
This year there was plenty of consternation over rookie ratings being overrated, but the one guy who earned his 80 was Charlotte's Andrew Wiggins!
Wiggins led all rookies in scoring with 16ppg and seemed to improve vastly as the season continued, in fact in the final month of season Wiggins averaged a league-high 28.1ppg! Eclipsing not just his rookie class but all of D5!
Unlike many challengers for the top rookie spot, Wiggins's team did reach the playoffs and is currently battling the Miami Heat with him as the main scoring option, and Wiggins excelled whilst being surrounded by other great players like Mike Conley, Robin Lopez and John Henson, whereas the other contenders for ROTY had very few competitors for touches and playing time.
Nowhere was Wiggins's dominance more felt than when he notched an amazing 54 point outburst against the Raptors on April 9th, the second highest scoring effort for any individual player this season after Russell Westbrook's 57 in overtime.
Congratulations to Andrew Wiggins, James Kay and the Charlotte Hornets!2014/15 Stats - 16.0ppg | 6.9rpg | 2.5apg | 1.3spg | 1.89bpg
Also in contention: Marcus Smart - 14.4ppg | 4.9rpg | 4.4apg | 1.76spg | 0.56bpg Rodney Hood - 15.0ppg | 5.4rpg | 2.0apg | 1.41spg | 0.79bpg Jerami Grant - 13.1ppg | 7.5rpg | 1.7apg | 1.16spg | 1.05bpg Elfrid Payton - 10.7ppg | 4.2rpg | 4.5apg | 1.44spg | 0.46bpg

Congrats Mr. Wiggins. P.S. Ian, I resent you for never making an Anthony Davis jersey swap

Notice that all the rookies in contention for this, were the ones that played basically.
Personally, I woulda had Jordan Adams in there just for his insane start to the season.
Wiggins is deserving and it looks like James made the right pick for year 1.

Joe Harris and Aaron Gordon could have been in that list as well. Then again, those 2 missed several games.

OR, if you would have drafted Bradley Beal or even Andre Drummond at #3 instead of Harrison Barnes! Barnes is solid, obviously, but I'm just saying.

I still think Barnes will end up being better than those two.
