Who's been the 4th best rookie?

[FKAri]

Everyone's been talking bout the 3 bigs.

Who's 4th?

Winslow?
Mudiay?
Russell?
There's a bunch in this tier imo

[Fire Colangelo]

I like Winslow, but I'm gonna give it to Mudiay.

He's playing like shit right now, but you know he's going down gunning and not shying away from the moment. He's had a couple decent game where he's just taking over, I've seen none of that from Russell yet.

[LikeMike]

Russell? :roll:

I say Mudiay, then Winslow.

[Gileraracer]

Russell :facepalm


2 APG as a PG along with feet made of fvcking plumb isn't enough to make you 4th best Rookie.

Top 3 are obvious, after that it's dark.

Mudiay is averaging 12.9 ppg on 14.4 FGAs (32.8%), his FG% is worse than Kobes (33.1%)

[bluechox2]

Russell :facepalm

mudiay's doing something right when he has a better record

[STATUTORY]

Russell and really when you consider both side of the ball, he's been better than Okafor

[AirTupac]

Mudiay? HAHA yeah lets take a shot jacker who can't shoot who's dumb AF :lol

[TheMilkyBarKid]

Mudiay then Winslow. Big gap after that.

[outbreak]

Okafor's been better on defence than expected, he's averaging 1.6 bpg and has actually had a presence against drives. He's not great one on one yet but he's still MUCH better defensively than Russell who's been a liability at times.

What about somone like bjelica? Not putting up big stats but he's been more efficient and fills his role nicely. TJ Mcconnell is in the same boat. Those guys won't be better long term but they've been efficient for rookie if we are ranking just based on play this year.

Yeah because NBA is a 1 on 1 tournament :facepalm

[GrapeApe]

I'll be a homer and say Winslow. His energy and defense off the bench have been a catalyst for multiple wins imo. His numbers aren't great but he's undeniably impactful when he's on the court.

[SwishSquared]

Winslow has been nothing more than a role player and mostly defensive specialist, but he's my #4 rookie. He's played well enough to earn fourth quarter minutes consistently.

He does play mins alongside good players, but if he wasn't contributing positively enough, he'd have his mins cut imo.

Mudiay has much more responsibility and he's struggled with TOs and his shot, which we pretty much all expected. He can be a better player than Winslow long term, though. I have him as my #5 rookie.

[hateraid]

In terms of being NBA ready I'd say Stanley Johnson. If Reggie Jackson wasn't such a ball hog and learned to distribute in the half court rather than playing a 2 man game with Drummond he might be a legitimate star in the making

[Naero]

While he hasn't had the requisite playing time to yield recognition for it, Bobby Portis may deserve to be etched in this discussion as well. Sadly, due to the front-court depth of the Bulls and how close-fought most of their games have been so far, the Bulls' rookie draftee has been played sparingly; however, with more rotational emphasis invested in him down the stretch, I'd be hard-pressed to doubt his chances of vaulting into the top-5 standings out of all rookies and potentially becoming a RoY (Rookie of the Year) sneaker

[TaLvsCuaL]

Okafor. Towns, Porzingis and Mudiay are playing better in my opinion. Mudiay impact is way bigger than his stats.

BTW Clint Capela is doing great, deserves a mention

[FKAri]

I haven't really watched much of Winslow but what is his upside?

[livingby3's]

Shout out for Devin Booker, this kid needs some attention.

DBook best shooter in this draft. He's been doing great with limited minutes.
Hopefully Hornacek gives him more playtime and I'm sure he will climb this list.

Not top 5 perhaps but he definitely has the tools to be top 10 rookies

You mean the 2nd year player that plays for the Rockets?

I think I've gotta go with Mudiay, Nuggets are winning and he's a part of it. He'll figure his shot out sooner or later, he's still good with assists to turnovers is he not? Then I'd go Winslow, but if Stanley Johnson were on a team that really needed him, I think he'd be owning it.

Capela is a rookie in my book. He barely played last year. It is a peculiar opinion I guess, and I understand that you can not agree

Why isn't Jabari Parker on your list then?? Capela played playoff minutes, so I don't get why anyone would see him as a rookie.

[Prime_Shaq]

Winslow is a much much better player right now, I think Mudiay has better upside though

My favourite rookie in the draft, but I dont see him get much play. Loved his game in Summer League, could see him becoming a Steph Curry-lite

Have I said something about Parker? how do you know if I consider him rookie or not?

Jabaris could be considered rookie as well. I forgot him. I loved his game before the injury by the way, I hope He stay healthy.

[NugzFan]

Easily mudiay.

[Ai2death]

Gonna have to go with my boy Mudiay, his stats don't tell the whole story, even if you only caught last game. He was almost the only one putting his heart into it, everyone else looked like they'd already lost.

He has also come up pretty clutch in a few games securing the win.

:facepalm to considering second year players as rookies... they still had a full season of NBA training's and workouts, they are easily a level over rookies, even with limited minutes.

They don't have limited minutes. One was injured and the other one in the D-League. Anyway, that's my opinion. You don't like it? I don't care.

[G0ATbe]

1. Towns
2. Russell
3. Porzingis
4. Okafor

But they aren't rookies which is what the OP'S thread is about. That is your opinion, but it is not what the thread is about

:oldlol:

[FKAri]

How about now?

I think it's still up for debate

Booker, Jokic, Russell are all in this tier. Myles Turner coming on strong. Also Bobby Portis and Larry Nance jr.
