I don't even know if Embiid deserves to be ROY. Will have played in less than half the games. Who is the rookie of the year? Saric? Could we have the worst rookie of the year ever?
As for the 2016 class, is it the worst ever? Obviously too early to tell, but Simmons seems like the only guy who can save this group.
