Rookie Rankings 3.0

10. Jaxson Hayes (New Orleans) Injuries forced the Pelicans to start Hayes seven games with good returns. Not very versatile, but a fireball of energy on both sides of the court 9. Rui Hachimura (Washington) 8. RJ Barrett (New York) The Canadian scorer has had green light to shoot during this depressing Knicks season. His 53.3 percent from the free-throw line is a disaster, through 7. Brandon Clarke (Memphis) 6. Terence Davis (Toronto) The Raptors guard averaged 12.0 pts on 48.3 percent shooting from deep the last two weeks. From undrafted to key reserve for the champs 5. Eric Paschall (Golden State) 4. Tyler Herro (Miami) 3. PJ Washington (Charlotte) Already one of the most reliable stretch fours and a solid defender. His 26-point game against Detroit was one of the highlights of his season 2. Ja Morant (Memphis) A back injury may leave the Grizzlies new star out for some weeks. A bummer for the points and assists leader among 2019-20 rookies 1. Kendrick Nunn (Miami) Currently the designated scorer on a top team like Miami. Streaky at times, he still earns plenty of shots and responsibility from Erik Spoelstra
