This rookie draft class is as deep as one may think. There are many great rookies who are proving to be difference-makers for their respective teams. Who is performing the best, though? Here are TGH’s picks for the top ten rookies in the NBA.
Green hasn’t been the greatest player this year but he has been given the most opportunity. He’s averaging 15.3 points, 3.0 boards, 2.2 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.2 blocks a game. His shooting has been alright, shooting a shade below 40% from the field, 32% from three and 82% from the line.
The shooting has definitely gotten better since the beginning of the season but he still doesn’t do a whole lot besides score the ball. Expect Green to continue getting minutes for the rebuilding Rockets.
Number Nine: Davion Mitchell
Mitchell has been very up and down this season but his role remains steady at 24.8 minutes a game. His tenacious defense is very fun to watch and once he gets his offense up to speed, he can easily be one of the best two way players in the league. He is averaging 9.2 points, 2.2 boards, 3.3 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.2 blocks a game on 39% from the field, 30% from three and 66% from the line.
Once Sacramento keeps losing games, expect Mitchell to see a bump in minutes at the end of the season. Despite being behind Tyrese Haliburton and De’Aaron Fox, his ceiling remains high at the moment.
Number Eight: Alperen Şengün
Sengun is one of the more fun prospects in this entire rookie draft. He is regarded as a “Baby Jokic” because of his nice passing and offensive abilities. However, he isn’t getting a whole lot of minutes due to Coach Silas opting to play Christian Wood and Daniel Theis. As weird as it sounds, Sengun has looked very good when given the minutes.
