Top 3 on the NBA.com Rookie Ladder:

1. Stephon Castle (12 PPG, 3 RPG, 4 APG)
2. Jaylen Wells (11, 3, 2)
3. Zach Edey (10, 8, 1)

I say it's too late, but we'll see. What do you guys think?


He'd have to average ridiculous numbers after the break. Wells' numbers aren't great but he's starting on the second best team in the West and is doing a great job. Castle is playing better as well. Since the new year, Castle's averages are 16/3/3.

I'd be happy for Matas to take a rookie of the month before the season ends.

My guess is that Matas gets in as a second round selection. Just too late in the season to get higher than that.

Kevin Huerter was absurdly bad. I know it's his first game on a new team, but I walked away from that game wondering if he was even an NBA-caliber player. I never closely watched him, but I know he was pretty solid his first 3-4 years in the league. Is there a reason his game has fallen off a cliff? At this rate, he's our tank commander.

Jared McCain was running away with rookie of year honors. But i think it's all about how strong you finish the year. Dunk contest will help with recency bias too.

If the Bulls do, you would be complaining to much to ever hear it.


NBA fan logic we need to trade one of two best players because (Player X) one needs to shine more.

I really didnt think KH would play as much as he did. But he had a horrible debut.

When Zo returns, its really going to crowd this backcourt. I dont really care.

To me, Matas, Ayo and Coby should not be affected by any rotations. They should all get 30 mins.

I am in LA, I watched pleeeenty of the Kings. Huerter has been bad for 2 years. He was hitting shots in the first Beam Team year but that was all he could do. His jumper was broken all of last year and then Keon Ellis showed up and not only shot it better but plays real defense.

Huerter shouldn't play if you want to win. Sacramento learned that last year.

He and Collins are dead weight. Not sure why Billy gave him so much burn when all he did was get torched and brick shots.


I am going to go against this. Huerter has a stroke that is just off. He's aggressive rebounding and active on defense. Something many players on this team are lacking. I think by season end his stroke will be falling and he will a great part of the rotation. I was impressed.

Sorry I am not about to disregard the last two years of watching the guy actually play ball because he was agressive at rebounding in his Bulls debut.

Maybe his jumper turns around after a change of scenery but he complained about Sac's system when he was introduced here and the guy was bricking wide open 3s.

If we are lucky his jumper starts to come back by year's end and he is a expiring contract with a solid jumper, but to think he is anything else for this team? Nahh. The guy is an NBA rotation player but he doesn't have a future here, we need to rebuild. Hopefully he can get his sh#% together and move to a team that can use him.
