KJG NBA Rookie of the Year Ladder – Week 2
In last week’s rankings, Michael Carter-Williams ended up at the top of the standings, following an impressive opening week with the Philadelphia 76ers. He is pretty much a lock to play big minutes all season long and has a great chance to develop as a result of that.
Other than MCW’s excellent play in week one, we saw very sporadic minutes for rookies around the league, making the bottom half of the rankings wide open. Some players that didn’t quite make the cut last week saw their minutes and roles change and you can expect a lot of up-and-down movement in these rankings as the rookies settle into their roles.
So, which rookies make the cut this week?
