As expected, Derrick Rose won the rookie of the year award. I know that people were telling me that the ROY voting is done before the playoffs and is only for the regular season. Yes, that is the official stance, but I'm quite certain that plenty of votes come in after the season and you can't tell me those votes are not influenced by those early playoff games.
The proof is that he won so easily over Mayo: 111 votes for Rose and only 5 for Mayo, with 2 each for Lopez and Westbrook. Rose would have won anyway without that big first playoff game, but I doubt it would have been such a landslide.
And for those guys who wanted to pick Beasley in the draft: 2 second place and 1 third place votes.
