Brooklyn Nets shooting guard and 27th overall draft pick MarShon “Swag Sleeves” Brooks received a second-place vote and a third-place vote in the Rookie of the Year voting, finishing tenth overall among rookies as officially announced today by the NBA.
Cavs point guard Kyrie Irving won the award handily, presumably for doing things like destroying the Nets both at home and away. Timberwolves point guard Ricky Rubio and Nuggets manimal Kenneth Faried rounded out the top three.
