did derrick rose deserve to win rookie of the year

title says it all

Noone else should have been close IMO

Who else could it have been...?

He's by far the best rook this year, maybe not down the road from this class but he was by far the best this year...

Yes... I'm not sure there were any other viable options, regardless of what you think of Rose.

His stats weren't spectacular, but like everyone else has said, no one else was close.

Wasn't he only like the third rookie in history to average 17 and 6?

I don't know. I guess that's pretty good then. lol
For some reason I thought he had 15ppg this season. I mean it's not bad, it's actually pretty good, just saying...
Man, he's averaging 18.4pts, 7ast, and 6.4reb per game in the playoffs.
daaaang!

I think Rose deserved it but I think there were guys close to him.

Rose averaged 16.8pts/3.9reb/6.3ast/.8st (37 mpg)
Mayo averaged 18.5pts/3.8reb/3.2ast/1.1st (38 mpg)
Lopez averaged 13.0pts/8.1reb/1.0ast/1.8blk (30 mpg)

Again, before someone jumps all over me, I think Rose deserved it but there were guys close to him in my opinion.

For a while I thought Westbrook had a chance to challenge him, but Westbrook game slipped the last 6 weeks

Eric Gordon should be considered, but still does not match up to Rose

I liked Mayo (& even Lopez a bit more) :? but I know Rose deserved it due to where his team is...
