Just a further note on the ROY. I know it's only the pre-season, but Garbajosa seems like he has a decent outside shot, especially given that he's doesn't seem to be on anybody's list. I wouldn't count him alongside Morrision, Roy and Foye (and he definitely doesn't have as much career potential as most of the other candidates), but it's not inconceivable that an international veteran with a very well-rounded game could out-perform all the other rookies from a draft class that lacks any instant-impact players. As well, he should get the playing time to compete, since he seems capable of being used in a wide range of situations. I wouldn't be surprised to see him average around 10-12 ppg this year, which most years is good enough for a top five in rookie scoring.
