With Dalton becoming a starter the attempts will go up, he will close the gap in minutes and probably overtake McCain since the Philly starters will come back sooner or later.
Let’s see. McCain is the better player no doubt he can actually create for himself. Dalton only shoots or cuts to the rim. He barely makes plays for himself.
There’s a certain eye test which tells you McCain is significantly better. Though it may change with the rest of the season. Also McCain is 3 years younger than knecht and is already so good. It may not factor in the rookie race but McCain will improve way more than dalton
I feel like McCain has the narrative backing him right now. It’ll be his to lose, assuming both guys play within expectations going forward.
Dalton still has a horse in this race especially if he’s a reason we end up a top seed. Once Maxey (and Embiid and PG?) come back healthy Mccain might come back to earth. Lowkey more concerned with Stephon Castle. That guy is nice and he’ll have opportunities all year to make his case.
Dont disrespect Knecht by comparing him to that philly rookie
Lakers PR need to start pumping out ROTY content for Dalton Knecht. You gotta plant the seed in voters brain early and often.
McCain has the narrative because Philly is a joke of a team.
This league loves their young prospects..and he looks like a franchise star imo.
We shall see!
It’s going to come down to narrative… like every year. DK will play out of his mind but he’s not in a situation like McCain where he can go lights out whenever because everyone’s injured.
ROTY is never about efficiency lmao. It’s usually just pure counting stats, Chet was more efficient last year and lost
This man deserves it! He’s been doing his thing on the court and being consistent
Right now it’s McCain’s to lose unless our boy somehow continues to score about 20 ppg as a starter
As long as Dalton starts I think he’ll eventually leapfrog McCain
But yeah at this point the ROY race is between Knecht 4 and GG Redick
I feel like Castle is gonna come in and make this a three-man race, could see it going to any of them. Hope Knecht 4 gets it for da boys tho 💪
I find it a bit annoying the Corner 3 and Paint rows are swapped for Knecht and McCain
Once Dalton starts, he should be able to catch up to the PPG differential.
McCain play loose right now with injuries to Embiid and PG even when Maxey was out too. Once all healthy (it’s still a big if) we will see if he still get the same usage. With Kinecht, if he keep starting he will get more touches and easy looks then he can get easy 20 a night. Just need to do more aside from scoring but he rebounds well as of late.
He’d have to put up insane numbers to win it. Lebron and AD having the ROY winner on their team along with AR who’s really good and popular is media narrative hell. Like unless this team makes the finals, the dominating convo would be how Lebron, AD and the ROY chocked. Unless Dalton averages over 20 PPG or McCain completely falls off a cliff, just give it to McCain.
It’s McCain to lose currently
As long as our boy keeps Ballin well be good. Mccain a good dude and i ironically been watching his yt vid so I like the kid
Dalton just needs to get his scoring average up. 11 ppg isnt going to win ROTY.
