Has to be a genuine ROTY candidate if he keeps this up. He's improving week by week, and looks to have that starting spot completely locked up. Cause for optimism for the young guy in what has been a pretty bleak season for the team.

he’s one spot above the #1 overall pick from last year.
This season sucks, but he is a huge bright spot in it.
I don’t know about ROTY candidate. This team certainly won’t have the wins. But he should make at least one of the All-Rookie teams.
McCain should fall as Sixers get healthy and his role is diminished.
Castle could be the front runner, but can you really put him over Missi who will be starting rest of season while Castle comes off the bench.
Wells could go either way, Grizzlies are still missing some guys so not sure what happens to his role when they return.
I think guys that are behind Missi who we’ll need to keep an eye on are, Sarr, Bub, and Edey.
Sarr and Bub are on the worst team in the league and should be getting a ton of minutes and a big green light.
Edey is injured at the moment, but if he can come back and continue to succeed as a starter on a winning team, voters may look on that favorably
He will be the best rookie from this class when all is said and done
Ill be the first to admit I absolutely hated the pick when we selected Missi. My first thought, like many others, was we just drafted Jaxson 2.0 – raw skill + hyper athletic younger player. I thought we drafted for need rather than BPA. Just overall was not a fan at the time. Now I can confidently say I was 100% wrong.
Players like Missi are the easiest to root for. Humble and hardworking young man with insane athleticism and potential. You see him stacking good days constantly. Cant wait to see how he develops – really the only thing I have any vested interest in the remainder of this szn.
If Missi averages a double double he should win Roy
