The Top Rookie






There has been a lot of talk about the 2008-09 rookies. The best rookie scorer right now is O.J. Mayo averaging 19.4 points per game. The closest competitor to O.J. Mayo is non other than first pick of the draft Derrick Rose who is averaging 16.6 points per game. O.J. Mayo, the third pick of the draft, has exceeded the expectations and has really proved that he deserves to play in the NBA. The most accurate rookie is Marc Gasol and his 51.7 clip from the field would make him the best scorer out there. The top 10 overall rookie rankings are as follows 1. O.J. Mayo 2. Derrick Rose 3. Russell Westbrook 4. Brook Lopez 5. Eric Gordon 6. Michael Beasley 7. Marc Gasol 8. Jason Thompson 9. Mario Chalmers 10. Kevin Love. Which rookie do you think is the best all-around player?

  1. Dam right O.J Mayo is the best rookie. Don't forget what school he went to USC and he was drafted in the 1st round pick number three. Not in the third round. But he also got the worse end of it all hes plays for Memphis. That team has never done anything good long term they have always just been a random team with a few good players there entire career.

  2. Yeah I do agree the O.J. is probably one of the top rookie maybe even the best. But Derrick Rose is really good and he has done a lot. Yeah O.J. is averaging the most points for a rookie this year but that is it. Derrick is averaging points and assists. I don't know though I think that Courtney Lee is the best rookie.
