The National Basketball Association has a great Rookie class in 2017/18 and they're helping cement the change in the NBA's style of play.

The NBA is Changing

The NBA's style of play has changed completely from the era of brutality led by Olajuwon, Robinson & Shaq to the era of the 6'5"+ penetration guard euro-stepping about the court like some sort of MMA ballerina. He's kicking passes from under the basket to 7 foot tall 3 point shooters like Embiid & Kristaps. The ROY leaderboard is pushing this change with its lightning fast crossover penetration, assists and a few rainstorms of 3's.

# My NBA ROY Favorites

1. Donovan Mitchell - Jazz, Guard
2. Kyle Kuzma - Lakers, Forward
3. Ben Simmons - Philly, Guard

Others worth mentioning

1. Lonzo Ball - Lakers, Guard
2. Jayson Tatum - Celtics, forward

The 2 forwards on the list can both handle the ball, throw some ankle breakers, hit 3 pointers and hit the rim hard. Most of the pundits seem to love Ben Simmons, a lot. I love Donovan Mitchell and if he stays healthy he will win the ROY award.

Who are your top 3 ROY picks?
