Rookie players are taking over the NBA G League in 2019-20

Among the top scorers in the G League this season, five players in the top 10 are first-year players.

Kyle Alexander, Sioux Falls Skyforce

The former Tennesee forward has been a monster on the glass this season.

Alexander is averaging 12.5 points, 10.9 rebounds, 2.7 blocks and 1.5 assists in 11 games. He is fourth in total rebounds among all players and fifth in offensive rebounds. Alexander has five double-doubles this season and recently strung together three consecutive such games.

Alexander started off the season on a complete tear on defense. He tallied 15 total blocks in his first two games, falling just short of a point-rebound-block triple-double in both contests.

For teams looking for frontcourt help, Alexander appears to be a prime candidate.
