We sat down with 38 rookies at the annual Rookie Photo Shoot at the Knicks' practice facility in Greenburgh, New York, in early August. They answered eight questions about their class, as well as a couple about the current player they most admire and what they're expecting as they make the jump to the NBA.

The respect for Dunn goes well beyond the first question.

Congrats to Dunn on winning such a prestigious award!

I can't see a reserve guard winning RoY. They judge it on weight of numbers mostly, so someone getting heaving minutes with high basic stats will probably win.
I think the winner will be my man BRANDON INGRAM.
