Any books have NBA rookie of the year lines active?

I like Brandon Roy at 2-1. Max bet is $200.

Those are some seriously shiitty odds.

Yea, I wouldn't take a player at 2 to 1 =\

44.2% hold. Powerball pays better than that.

JJ Redick is still available at 50-1.

I'm pretty sure it's a bad bet, but here is my reasoning...

Only a handful of rookies are receiving enough playing time to win the award: Roy, Bargnani, Morrison, Foye, Garbajosa.

Of those players Roy is head and shoulders above the rest. He's averaging 15ppg, 4rpg, and 3apg since he returned from injury and is the second best player on his team.

If he wins the thing this summer, I'll probably go blow the money on an iPhone, so I lose the money either way.

Bargnani's numbers are pretty close to Roy in tha past 10 games and he is getting better. I think its going to be close race between the two. Morrison's defense is so bad i hope they remove him from consideration.
