Agreed their are some talented guys in it like their is every class. It might not be a Lebron or Flagg type of elite talent at the top. But their are some guys with legit #2 options with all star potential in there imo.

Lol our rookie is BACK in the G league.

God I can’t wait for COOPER Flagg to save us

It's not a bad class at all. Wizards are starting 3 rookies and they all look great.

I would be surprised if anyone out of the rookies has a better game than Zacc did last night

I was wrong on Castle he's been a non factor for San Antonio so far.

Matas needs the leash to play through rough patches. Giving him 7, 3, 4, 4 minutes is insane.

Then he gets real time against DAL and produces.

I could see Bub for 40 a couple times this season.

Sucks that Dunn sprained his ankle. Hopefully he'll only miss a few games and be back at it. His defense has been outstanding.

This kid might not get the minutes for Rookie of the Year, but I feel very confident in his potential to be the best player of this draft class 5 years from now.

Zach Edey with another solid game tonight. He's showing continual improvement game-to-game. Over his last five games:

- 22.2 minutes per game
- 13.4 ppg, 9.0 rpg, 0.8 apg, 0.6 spg, 1.6 bpg
- 68.3% FG (28/41), 66.7% 3PT (2/3), 81.8% FT (9/11), 70.7% eFG, 73.1% TS
- +34 over nearly 111 minutes on-court; positive plus-minus in every game

Leading the league in ORB% also, which is cool.

Edey is doing great dominating 6’9 3rd string bigs in games where the grizzlies are up 20 :lol:

Don't know what you're talking about, Castle has been playing very well, he just needs to work on his shot. Otherwise he's as good or better than expected (better playmaker).

I am investing in Steph Castle stock.

Boy oh Boy he is so entertaining to watch!

Castle has mastered that deacceleration into the pause step on layups.

Sarr just moves so nice for a big guy

Read on Twitter

Early in his career, Alex Sarr’s defense is as impressive as advertised. He’s a freakish mover with the versatility to switch onto the perimeter, execute multiple pick-and-roll coverages and defend the rim. Aside from Donovan Clingan (13.3 percent), Sarr’s 10.4 percent block rate leads all rookies, placing him in the 99th percentile league-wide. His scoring needs work, but his passing to cutters has been encouraging.

Which 2 rookies are you most high on / impressed with?
