The early NBA season provided yet another great week of action behind several elite-level performances from some of the top players in the game.
Joel Embiid asserted his dominance over the weekend with more than 100 points in two games to lead the Philadelphia 76ers. Elsewhere, Jayson Tatum put up yet another 40-point effort as the Boston Celtics look nearly unstoppable at the moment.
While the best of the best continue to show out, the rookie class is also making a name for itself. Paolo Banchero and Bennedict Mathurin have established themselves as the top first-year players in the early going while others are also performing at a high level.
To make further sense of it all, Rookie Wire took a look at the NBA and ranked each team from worst to first. We come back each week and provide our latest assessment of the best teams and those that are rising.
