Just wondering, what is the lowest drafted(or not drafted) player to win R.O.Y.??? (1 Viewer)

Does anyone know... just wondering if MC continues this pace and gets Rookie of the Year... would this be another record?

My guess would be Mike Anderson
6th Round 23rd pick

 

[Saint Droopy]

Colston...

I think it is Mike Anderson. I believe someone a few weeks ago posted on here a list of all the OROY winners and when they were drafted and believe Anderson was the lowest drafted player to win it.

I can't find where 1974's winner (Don Woods) was drafted...

He'd probably need to play 2 more games to win it at his current pace...
