Rookie survey: Durant no longer ‘favorite player,' Curry gets zero votes

Share

The 2017 rookie class isn't too fond of Steph Curry.

The results of NBA.com's annual Rookie Survey were released on Tuesday morning.

In the "Who is your favorite player in the league" category, Curry did not receive a single vote.

1) LeBron James -- 31.5 percent
2) Russell Westbrook -- 19.4 percent
3) Kawhi Leonard -- 8.3 percent
4) James Harden -- 6.5 percent
5) Kevin Durant -- 5.6 percent
5) Draymond Green -- 5.6 percent

7) Anthony Davis -- 4.2 percent
8) Kyrie Irving -- 3.7 percent

Others receiving votes -- Carmelo Anthony, Jamal Crawford, Pau Gasol, Paul George, Blake Griffin, Dwight Howard

Last year, Curry did receive some votes and in 2015 he tied for fourth at 9.1 percent.

Even more noteworthy perhaps is that Durant's three-year run as the favorite player came to an end:

- 2016: 29.7 percent
- 2015: 21.2 percent
- 2014: 25 percent

Apparently, winning the championship and NBA Finals MVP isn't enough to impress 18-year olds...
