Honorable Mention:
Kevin Porter Jr., Cleveland Cavaliers: 9.9 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2 assists
Porter has perhaps emerged as the most talented rookie on the Cavaliers this season. He has dazzled on the court at times given his dribble moves, ability to drive and draw contact. He is coming off a career-high 30 points against the Miami Heat on Monday as the Cavaliers erased a 22-point deficit to win the game.
Nicolo Melli, New Orleans Pelicans: 6.7 points, 3 rebounds, 1.1 assists
Since the beginning of the new year, Melli has been among the best 3-point shooters in the league. Melli is converting on 48.6% of his shots from beyond the arc, the best percentage in the NBA among players attempting at least three 3-pointers. He is averaging 8.8 points over that span and has been a welcomed addition by the Pelicans.
Cam Reddish, Atlanta Hawks: 9.6 points, 3.7 rebounds
Reddish has shown gradual improvement throughout his rookie campaign with the Hawks and has increased his shooting percentage in each month this season. He has played sound defense for the Hawks and has really started to show flashes on the floor as of late.
