2005 PBA Rookie of The Year [Merged]

[camerlengo]

who are the candidates among this years rookie crop
can somebody enumerate
of course excluded are those who have played in the defunct MBA

[lovejones]

Based on last January's Draft result:

Rich Alvarez (Shell)
James Yap (PF)
Ranidel de Ocampo (FedEx)
Joachim Thoss (Alaska)
Denver Lopez (RB)
Ervin Sotto (Shell)
Wesley Gonzales (FedEx)
Gary David (Coke)
Paul Artadi (PF)
Carlo Sharma (Shell)
Kim Valenzuela (BG)
Nino Gelig (TnT)
Willie Wilson (Alaska)
Ronald Cuan (SL)
Manny Ramos (Coke)
Bernzon Franco (Alaska)

[itong]

I think it'll be a toss-up Between Thoss and Alvarez. Although guys like Yap, Artadi and Lopez could bustout and meke things a lot more interesting.

[KARTOG]

Realubit?

Seriously, I think Thoss will be the runaway rookie of the year.

[camerlengo]

are the stats in the fiesta included
is celino cruz a rookie elegible for the award

[dayspin]

hindi kasali ang stats sa fiesta cup

celino cruz is not eligible for the award


my choice.... thoss, yap, artadi, alvarez


ang advantage kasi nina thoss and alvarez is rebounds department dun pa lang sandamukal na statistical points na makukuha nila...lugi guards kaya dapat baguhin system...

pero sa votes i think si yap and artadi may advantage....

[globalhegemon]

How about Gelig -- nagbalik-PBL yan through Lee Pipes (now Addict)

[baby_07]

Kahit ayoko sa kanya, I think si Joaquim Thoss din.

[Big Ticket]

naglaro ba sa MBA si cruz?

gelig is eligible still he hasn't played for any professional league before...PBL lang...

[dayspin]

once u get drafted ... then naglaro ka lang the following year...di ka narin eligible sa roy award

[Big Ticket]

y? ur still considered a rookie di ba? ang alam ko lang kase ineligible are those players who played sa MBA....

[camerlengo]

if cruz did not play in the MBA
that means he is not an ex pro
he should be eligible for the award even if he was drafted earlier

[flipside trece]

i think it will be alvarez

[SwarmSpore]

i'd like alvarez to win it...his stats are okay and if you compare theimprovement shell has made eversince he got in, compared to the changes yap and artadi have made to purefoods, i say alvarez has the edge.

i'm not too familiar with thoss's game though. but for now alvarez is my choice...

[theo78]

for me, it's rich...darkhorse si david, if he continues to play just like what he did vs. shell

sa philippine cup - dito talaga magkakaalaman!

[color_s_Kaboink]

yah si david.... pa pala......

si yap artadi alvarez at thoss

tama lugi ang guards sa centers....kasi sandamukal na rebounds kuha nila so lugi sila sa statistical points

so babawi mga guards sa votes

kahit na ...basta nadraft ka... 2003 kunwari..

tapos di ka naglaro sa 2003 season....


di ka na pede sa 2004 ... pagka-alam ko ah....

kasi rookie year mo 2003 eh

[Big Ticket]

^nope....tulad sa nba...nick collison is still considered a rookie this season coz he missed all of last season due to a shoulder injury...

[camerlengo]

classic example si robinson
drafted 87
rookie 89
won nba roy in 89
