Trae's greatest threat to the assist crown moving forward?

He won't be the Jazz point guard long-term if he continues to shoot 40% from the field and 24% (29 for 119) from 3.

3. Zaccharie Risacher, Atlanta Hawks

Season stats: 11.7 ppg, 3.6 rpg, 1.3 apg
Last Ladder: No. 5
Draft pick: No. 1

OK, so his name doesn’t pack the same clout as Kidd’s, but Philadelphia’s Guerschon Yabusele had similar praise for Risacher that Kidd had for Castle. After the Hawks forward notched 22 points and eight rebounds against the Sixers, Yabusele said: “I wasn’t worried about him, he’s already shown his talent. It evolves from year to year. He’s going to work this summer and he’ll be even better at the start of the next season.”

With Vit back, and with the 3 vets we traded for, I'm concerned Zacc's minutes and shots attempts will plumpet. Leaving little chance of jumping up the rookie ladder and in serious contention for ROY.

1. Stephon Castle, San Antonio Spurs

Season stats: 13.8 ppg, 3.2 rpg, 3.5 apg
Last Ladder: No. 1
Draft pick: No. 4

First Victor Wembanyama went out for the season, now it’s guard De’Aaron Fox (pinkie surgery). That largely has flipped the keys to what’s left of San Antonio’s season to Castle to run the Spurs’ attack and put up some numbers to draw ROY votes. Castle is the only rookie to score more than 900 points — Wells trails him 913-746 — or take more than 700 shots. He’s tied for most steals (61) among rookies while ranking fourth in minutes logged and in assists.

2. Zaccharie Risacher, Atlanta Hawks

Season stats: 11.9 ppg, 3.7 rpg, 1.2 apg
Last Ladder: No. 3
Draft pick: No. 1

Risacher’s minutes and stats have risen and fallen — he averaged 15 points on 51% shooting this week — but Hawks coach Snyder hasn’t focused on that. “I don’t want us to get hung up on Zacch making shots and saying he played well and him missing shots and saying he didn’t,” Snyder said. “I’m going to get a sign and say, ‘Zacch’s tough, Zacch competes, and Zacch loves to play – and Zacch loves to work.’”

It's just a matter of time before Lebron puts in a call to Adam and Jr. jumps to the top of the ol' Rookie Ladder.

I can be honest....

If it wasn't for the injury, Jared McCain would have run away with it this year...

Future All-Star. Once he gets his game together and becomes more consistent he's going to be one of the leagues best bug men. He blocks shots, hits 3 pointers, and he seems to have the drive to be successful.
