Rookie of the Year: Jarred Vanderbilt

This award is probably the easiest one to give out. Denver had two rookies on their current roster, Michael Porter Jr. and Jarred Vanderbilt. Michael Porter Jr. did not play a single game for the Nuggets as he was healing from a serious back injury. Vanderbilt played 16 games and about 4 minutes per game making his impact minimal to say the least. Their time will come but this season was more of a learning curve for both players. Since Vanderbilt has played games this season, he is our ROY.
