In the early battle between two NBA Rookie of the year candidates, KAT and Okafor will face each other when the Sixers meet the Wolves tomorrow. I think KAT has a slight edge in the race for ROY at the moment, beating Okafor in every statistical category except scoring which pundits will attribute to his lower playing minutes. This early season show down could help in determining who wins the ROY. Kristaps has been surprisingly good but not quite up there to challenge these two right now.
KAT stats:
52% FG, 91% FT, 10.4 RPG, 2.4 BPG, 16.0 PPG
Okafor stats:
47% FG, 64% FT, 7.7 RPG, 1.6 BPG, 17.9 PPG
