Rookie Wire Power Rankings: Zion Williamson surges to the top spot

Rookie Wire takes a look at the top rookies through the latest week of the 2019-20 NBA season.

3. Ja Morant, Memphis Grizzlies

Stats: 17.6 points, 6.8 assists, 3.4 rebounds

Last Rank: 1

While Morant fell to third on our Power Rankings, it hasn’t been a result of poor play but rather some improved performances from a few others. Morant is averaging 18 points over his last four outings and you would have to go back to Jan. 22 for the last game he didn’t score in double figures — a span of 13 consecutive games.

Morant is the leading candidate for the Rookie of the Year award and there is likely nothing Zion Williamson can do to wrangle it away from him.
