2007-08 Rookie of the Year

The Rookie of the Year Award or "Eddie Gottlieb Trophy" is the recognition to the best first-year player. It is named that way after the pro basketball pioneer and owner-coach of the first NBA champion (then BAA) Philadelphia Warriors.

Winners are selected by a national panel of pro basketball writers and broadcasters.

In 56 editions of this award, only 15 times the Rookie of the Year was the player selected first in the NBA Draft previous to that season.

The current winner, Kevin Durant, was selected with the second pick by the Seattle Supersonics.
