Now with the NBA's rule that every player had to play at least one year of college ball the rookies have all proven they can play. Here is my list of the best rookies in the NBA though the first month of the season.
1. Al Horford F Hawks: Horford is a double double threat every night. He has had his share of big games as well as he had a 15 rebound game against the Suns.
2. Kevin Durant F Sonics: Durant has the most talent of any rookie but when you shoot 20 shots a game and score 19 a game something isn't clicking. He also hasn't been as good on defense as everyone has thought. Once Durant gets it all together though he will be a great player.
3. Yi Jianlian F Bucks: Yi has adjusted way faster to the NBA than Yao did which shows that he could be a pretty good player. He is scoring 10 a night and is also adding 6 rebounds. Plus he has a sweet jumper from 20 feet.
4. Daequan Cook G Heat: Nobody thought that Cook out of all of the Ohio State rookies to come out that Cook would be the best though the first month. Cook is averaging 10 points a game and is shooting 94 percent from the line.
5. Sean Williams C Nets: Williams is everything the Nets wanted Kenyon Martin to be. He is only contributing faster. Williams is averaging 8 points a game along with 2 blocks and 4 rebounds. Look for him to make some spot starts by the end of the year.
