Pleased to have another Rookie of the Month award in hand.
Although the talent of the 95th draft is now recognized, not many players have immediate impact; only Zhang Hao, Damon Stoudamire, and Joe Smith are noticeably more mature than others.
And those two have no advantage in competing with Zhang Hao for Rookie of the Month.
It's no surprise Zhang Hao would win, adding another trophy is always refreshing.
The unexpected part is February's Player of the Month.
In November, Penny won Player of the Month, and in December, Mr. Zhang took it.
In January, Zhang Hao eventually couldn't surpass the Bulls' player with similar records, but that month, Pippen averaged 23 points, 8 rebounds, 8.3 assists, 3.3 steals, beating Jordan to win Player of the Month.
