My bad and I can't add him with resetting the poll. I am such a failure.

Don't get down on yourself. In all fairness this was post draft Poll so he wasn't a for sure option I suppose. He can be an option for post FA or preseason ROY poll.

No change from the pre-draft poll: Okafor.

Towns. Team record will play a role. Need I say more? :)

I would guess Okafor. From day one, Okafor will be the best player on that team. That's a testament to how good he is right now and how bad the rest of that team is right now. A 20 and 8 rookie season is definitely not out of the question. And the ROY has traditionally just been about individual stats.

But for our team, I'd still rather have Towns.

If the Heat lose Deng, I could see Winslow winning it as a starter on a probable playoff team. There's been more of a push for winners lately and he'd actually be a starter on a winning team unlike Mirotic who was a bench guy this year. I think Kobe restricts Russell's numbers and Okafor will probably be doubled all year long with literally no other offensive weapons on that team.

It was reported yesterday Deng somewhat surprisingly opted in.
