Why Nerlens Noel is a ROY candidate

When the 2014-15 Rookie of the Year award is given out the winner will likely be Minnesota's Andrew Wiggins. Wiggins has been consistent throughout the season, which will likely give him the advantage over some of his competition who are making a late charge. Those rookies include Orlando's Elfrid Payton, Chicago Nikola Mirotic and Philadelphia's Nerlens Noel. Others under consideration for All-Rookie honors will include Utah's Dante Exum, Boston's Marcus Smart, Denver's Jusuf Nurkic and LA Lakers Jordan Clarkson. Regarding Noel, Philadelphia 76ers head coach Brett Brown believes his player should be in the mix for the award.
