MALCOLM BROGDON IS THE 2017 NBA ROOKIE OF THE YEAR.
That will never get old.
The Prez became Virginia’s second ever NBA Rookie of the Year, joining 1984’s Ralph Sampson. Twitter reacted appropriately.

Malcolm Brogdon showed the value of taking NBA-ready college players later in draft this year. Five-year kid at UVA, who worked his ass off
