Dime Magazine has Kevin Durant as their favorite to win Rookie of the Year honors this year. It really isn't any big surprise because Greg Oden's out, but I have to wonder if the Sonics inability to win games is going to hurt him. I know it's just a stupid award and this in only a preseason list but I have to think that the Sonics arent going to win over 30 games.
Jeff Green also made the team off the bench according to the list found here at Fox Sports. Another interesting selection is Rodney Stuckey from Eastern Washington, via Kentwood High. I witnessed Stuckey first hand in high school when he beat Puyallup in a seeding game for the state playoffs. He was definitely the best player on the floor, but I never expected him to be a preseason all-rookie team selection. But since he's from the area, count me as a Rodney Stuckey fan.
