The best and brightest rookies in the entire NBA right now. Both of them are playing way above expectation. Many people thought that they would be doing big things in the league but I don’t think many expected this.
All season Ja Morant has been toying with veterans, flying high and helping elevate his team to the 8th seed in a tough western conference.
Zion Williamson hasn’t played all season but he has definitely made his mark in the NBA, bullying defenders out of the way, dropping 30 points and hasn’t even really expanded his game yet. But what I think will really dictate wether or not he wins rookie of the year or not will be if the Pelicans can push past the Grizzlies in the next month and a half.
It has always been these two, from a young age when they were playing AAU basketball together, to the NCAA stage where they were often compared together, till now leading the race of rookies.
