A rookie of the year in the NBA or any other sports competition is a person that had a big impact on a team or sport - a BB-draftee might be good enough to make a difference for a Div IV or Div V-team, what would a rookie of the year look like in Div I?

It would be hilariuos to have a rookie of the year like that:
7 minutes per game, FG%25, 3P%11, FT% 36, 1.2 points, 2.0 rebounds, 0.8 assist, 2.4 turnovers...

Then if you put in some additional restrictions (amount of games, minutes per game), you would only find 1 or even 2 domestic players that would qualifiy - no fun to win a competition like that.

Awards that would make sense would be: Defensive player of the year, Scoring Champion and Most Improved player.

A rookie vs Sophmore game will just be another dud fest.

You're looking at guys with half a season of training vs 1.5 seasons of training.

Especially in the higher up leagues with active managers training their guys, you'll be looking at score lines of 100-50 with the sophomores giving the rookies a good smacking...

Most of the higher leagues have 3 vs 2 games. How many of those drafted players are actually kept. How many of them really get any floor time. Perhaps one game per country could be a possibility. A game per league will lack players and talent for sure.

I don't know about that, I think most drafts there would be at least 5 competitive rookies when matched up against 2 year trainees

Only if no one in your league has any idea about how to train players.

Why not have exceptionally talented rookies in the draft who rock the league right in their first year (Lebron James-/John Wall-/ Steve Curry-/ Blake Griffin-style). I anyways think that the young draftees are always so weak, even the best ones are not effective and you need to train them so long. Maybe it would be a great idea to introduce per season two or three rookies, who can have great talent and skills (depending on the league they're drafted in) and who actually impact the performance of the team.

I think the draft should have the same chanches in every league, becuase the differences betwen the leagues are already quite big.

Also if you create a LeBron who could dominate top leagues from the beginning, you have to cut down training to realistic speeds so that player can not make this big jumps like in BB and i believe this will reduce the fun too, or at least change the gameplay of this game dramatically.

There is a potential limit which could hold them back...

That would be 100k+ players for most Div I-leagues by now - I dont think that would make any sense, if there were only 2 or three per country this would be really bad beacuse such a player would shift powers for sure...
