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 Guy, Sacramento Kings

The Kings’ two-way rookie has been among the top players in the G League this season. In nine games played, Guy is averaging 26.6 points, 5.6 assists and 4.1 rebounds while he is shooting 36% from 3-point range. He is third among all players in total points and second in 3-pointers.

As previously mentioned, Guy tied a G League season-high with 42 points scored on Nov. 30 against the Iowa Wolves. He shot 11-of-23 from the field, including 8-of-16 from 3-point range to help the Kings to victory in that game.

Perhaps most impressive of that performance, Guy tallied 14 points alone in the fourth quarter while he went a perfect 7-of-7 from the free-throw line in the period. Guy has looked to be more than just a shooter this season and is beginning to turn heads.
