    http://www.nba.com/news/features/john_schuhmann/2014-15-nba-rookie-survey/

    The 2014 NBA rookie class was much hyped, not only for its top-line talent, but also its depth. And in the results of the 2014-15 NBA.com Rookie Survey, you can see evidence of both.

    At the annual Rookie Photo Shoot at the Knicks' practice facility in Tarrytown, N.Y., on Sunday, 38 rookies answered eight questions about their class. And over those eight questions, 39 different first-year players received at least one vote. But it's clear who they think is at the top of their class.

    Who will be the 2014-15 Rookie of the Year?

    1: Jabari Parker, Milwaukee -- 52.8 percent

    T-2: Doug McDermott, Chicago -- 8.3 percent

    Andrew Wiggins, Cleveland -- 8.3 percent

    T-4: Shabazz Napier, Miami -- 5.6 percent

    Nerlens Noel, Philadelphia -- 5.6 percent


    Which rookie will have the best career?

    1: Jabari Parker, Milwaukee -- 45.9 percent

    2: Doug McDermott, Chicago -- 13.5 percent

    3: T.J. Warren, Phoenix -- 8.1 percent

    T-4: Zach LaVine, Minnesota -- 5.4 percent

    Andrew Wiggins, Cleveland -- 5.4 percent


    Which rookie is being most overlooked?

    1: Kyle Anderson, San Antonio -- 11.1 percent

    T-2: Mitch McGary, Oklahoma City -- 8.3 percent

    Glen Robinson III, Minnesota -- 8.3 percent

    C.J. Wilcox, L.A. Clippers -- 8.3 percent

    T-5: Gary Harris, Denver -- 5.6 percent

    Shout out to Eminem. The people's champ.

    If jabari doesn't watch his weight his career won't be that spectacular.

    I don't even think Jabari's weight is much of a problem.

    I remember how flabby Glenn Robinson looked when he was gettin' buckets with his eyes closed.

    I think he just kinda got a flabby body type. Same with Melo.

    Melo look like if he retired today he would look like his boy Lenny Cooke by Christmas.

    Probably just has more to do with him wanting out of Detroit. He'll probably take the same or slightly less money somewhere else. Kinda like Lance.

    Of course, you wouldn't get it. You don't know how Le Batard thinks. People outside of Miami will see it as bitterness, we see it as a troll job.

    Dude is bitter tho...when the best player in the nba leaves ya team that happens(dan gilbert years ago) no more ? rants..

    Uh no. Smarten up. It's a satire of Gilbert's lame move with the comic sans, the same font he used in that letter. Le Batard ain't losing sleep over Bron's decision.

    That plus apparently some guy in Cleveland who runs a sports blog went in on LeBatard last week when he got tricked by a fake story about LeBatard being denied ad space in a Cleveland newspaper to put that exact pic up. So LeBatard basically said "That never crossed my mind to do it but since you were dumb enough to believe it here you go" lol

    Why would you give any name other than your own when asked "which rookie will have the best career?" If you ask me to exclude myself then don't even ask FOH.

    Yea but lance had other suitors. I don't think anyone else will offer Monroe that money

    If he wanted to leave Detroit that bad then he woulda took that offer because I couldn't see the Pistons matching it.

    I agree with both sides to an extent. I know it's a joke and all, but you can't tell me he ain't feeling some kinda way about.

    He like that one ? always goin out of his way to let you know how much he don't give a ? , when the easiest way to go about it is... Actually not giving a ?

    exactly heat fans been tryna play the same role knowing they tight about the stiffarm bron gave em. Miami folks stay giving LeBatard extra credit. he like the Latino/Rican version of Stuart Scott to them so I understand why the cape stay on
