SI.com had a roundtable discussion about the new crop of rookies in the NBA and Lee Jenkins not only thinks Anthony Davis will not win the Rookie of the Year, but he also thinks Michael Kidd-Gilchrist will struggle with the Charlotte Bobcats.
Jenkins: Kidd-Gilchrist, because the Bobcats still lack any offensive punch, and he won’t be able to provide it. He is going to be a standout defensive player, and a valuable complementary part, but he isn’t the kind of transformative scorer who can single-handedly turn an also-ran into a competitor. Kidd-Gilchrist lost two games in college. He will get a ton of experience with failure this season.
