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.

1. Zion Williamson, New Orleans Pelicans

Stats: 23.3 points, 7.1 rebounds, 2.3 assists

Last Rank: 2

Williamson tied Carmelo Anthony on Tuesday night for the most consecutive games with at least 20 points as a teenager. He is averaging 25.7 points over that span and is shooting a red-hot 55.3% from the field. The matchup against LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers proved to be a highly entertaining affair and could make for an exciting first-round matchup in the playoffs if it falls that way.

The NBA and its fans could only be as lucky.
