			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You&#8217;d be hard pressed to find three or four rookies who had better seasons then the Kings&#8217; <strong><a href="http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/t/thomais02.html" target="_blank">Isaiah Thomas</a></strong>, but given Sacramento&#8217;s wasteland perception to &#8220;media&#8221; personalities, expecting Thomas to get a fair shake was wishful thinking.</p>
<div id="attachment_3415" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 660px"><a href="http://cdn.fansided.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/88/files/2012/05/6206334.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-3415" title="NBA: Sacramento Kings at Oklahoma City Thunder" src="http://cdn.fansided.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/88/files/2012/05/6206334.jpg" alt="" width="650" height="525" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Credit: Richard Rowe-US PRESSWIRE</p></div>
<p>Expecting him to place 7th though? Not even I would have assumed he&#8217;d fall that far.</p>
<p>Thomas, who received six, second place votes along with ten, third place votes came in behind players like Golden State&#8217;s <strong><a href="http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/t/thompkl01.html" target="_blank">Klay Thompson</a></strong> and Iman Shumpurt of the New York Knicks, who received an actual first place vote for rookie of the year, which says just about all you need to know when it comes to the validity of this award.</p>
<p>While Thomas never had any chance to place top two given the year from <strong><a href="http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/i/irvinky01.html" target="_blank">Kyrie Irving</a></strong> and the <strong><a href="http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/r/rubiori01.html" target="_blank">Ricky Rubio</a></strong> hype, the IT Factor was the only other rookie to join Irving as a two-time rookie of the month award winner.</p>
<p>Which is apparently good for 7th place.</p>
<p>Shame on you, voters.</p>

<p>Everybody&#8217;s fan favorite continues to do work.</p>
<p>The last pick in the 2011 NBA Draft <a href="http://www.nba.com/kings/news/isaiah_thomas_rookie_of_the_month_release.html" target="_blank">won his first Rookie Of The Month award this afternoon</a>, joining fellow guard <strong><a href="http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/i/irvinky01.html" target="_blank">Kyrie Irving</a></strong> of the Cleveland Cavilers, who won his second consecutive month.</p>
<p>Thomas was congratulated by multiple team members on Twitter, such as <strong><a href="http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/c/couside01.html" target="_blank">DeMarcus Cousins</a></strong>, <strong><a href="http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/t/thompja02.html" target="_blank">Jason Thompson</a></strong>, <strong><a href="http://www.basketball-reference.com/players/g/greendo01.html" target="_blank">Donte Greene</a></strong> and more.</p>
<p>In Isaiah&#8217;s only five starts, he&#8217;s averaging a gaudy 19.2 points, 3.8 boards, 6.8 assists on 50.8% shooting (44% from 3pt).</p>
<p>Make sure you keep up the campaign to get Isaiah the recognition he deserves outside of the Kingdom by using the <span style="color: #800080;"><strong>#From60ToRoY</strong></span> hashtag on Twitter.</p>
