If Tatum can put up decent numbers this year in place of Hayward being injured and have a solid impact on our team he can get ROY.
I don't even think that his numbers would have to be better than Balls - but the TEAM would have to be better than LA.
If this team can somehow muster 45-48 wins, get a playoff berth AND Tatum puts up 14-6-2-1-1 and THEN the Lakers get only 25-30 wins I don't see how Ball can get ROY.
So far, Jayson has put up 12.3, 9 rebs, nearly 2 assist and 1 block, through 3 games. Not bad at all.
