루키랭킹!!! 브랜드 제닝스 1위!

[Ben Gorden]

1. Brandon Jennings, Milwaukee Bucks

G	MPG	PPG	RPG	APG	SPG	BPG	FG%	3P%	FT%
3	34.7	22.0	4.0	5.3	1.7	0.0	.481	.500	.700

Last Week: 5 | Drafted: 10
If you haven't seen my colleague, NBA TV's Rick Kamla, rant on Brandon Jennings, take a look in the NBA.com video archives. If it was any other player, Kamla's hyperbolic praise after two games ("I see greatness" and "perennial All-Star") would seem to be just that -- hyperbole. But I've got to side with my man Kamla here. Jennings looks like the real deal and it is definitely going to be a fun ride watching Jennings work.

2. Stephen Curry, Golden State Warriors

G	MPG	PPG	RPG	APG	SPG	BPG	FG%	3P%	FT%
2	37.5	13.0	2.0	5.5	2.5	0.0	.571	.500	.000

Last Week: 2 | Drafted: 7
I knew Stephen Curry was good, but even I have been surprised by his first two games. It's not necessarily the statistics (13 ppg and 5.5 apg in 37.5 mpg), but more his presence on the court. Curry just looks like he gets it. After the Warriors' season-opening loss to the Rockets, Shane Battier, himself known for his understanding of the game, told SI.com, "He has the poise of, not a seasoned veteran, but you couldn't tell that was his first NBA game. A lot of times, looking at a rookie, you're like, 'Wow, this kid is just trying to figure out where to park his car.' But he looked composed, he knows the game, he has it."

3. Jonny Flynn, Minnesota Timberwolves

G	MPG	PPG	RPG	APG	SPG	BPG	FG%	3P%	FT%
4	24.0	14.8	2.8	3.3	1.5	0.0	.475	.600	.900

Last Week: 4 | Drafted: 6
Flynn almost singlehandedly saved the Wolves in their opener, scoring 11 in the fourth quarter to lead a surprising rally to beat the Nets. Since then, though, coach Kurt Rambis has had little patience for mistakes (he has 15 turnorvers, most among rookies), benching the rookie in favor of Ramon Sessions, who has grasped the triangle offense much quicker.

4. Tyreke Evans, Sacramento Kings

G	MPG	PPG	RPG	APG	SPG	BPG	FG%	3P%	FT%
4	29.3	10.3	3.0	3.5	1.2	0.0	.357	.143	.556

Last Week: 1 | Drafted: 4
Evans took a tumble this week, and it's easy to see why. Granted, the Kings guard is dealing with a gimpy ankle, but he has to do better than 36 percent from the field (last among rookies), 14 percent from beyond the arc (1-for-7) and 55 percent from the free-throw line. Beno Udrih isn't going to take back the starter's minutes, but he looked like the better guard (yes, Beno Udrih) in the Kings' home-opening win.

5. Terrence Williams, New Jersey Nets

G	MPG	PPG	RPG	APG	SPG	BPG	FG%	3P%	FT%
4	25.8	10.8	5.0	1.3	.5	0.0	.372	.400	.700

Last Week: 9 | Drafted: 11
With Devin Harris sidelined, Williams should see more time at point guard. Not only that, but Yi Jianlian's sprained knee means coach Lawrence Frank may be forced to go with a small lineup, playing the energetic Williams in the four spot. The guard out of Louisville seems ready to handle the load and had a nice opener, notching 15 points and 10 boards.

6. Chase Budinger, Houston Rockets

G	MPG	PPG	RPG	APG	SPG	BPG	FG%	3P%	FT%
4	16.0	9.3	2.5	1.0	.5	0.0	.500	.400	.250

Last Week: 10 | Drafted: 44
Budinger may not be getting big-time minutes (15.9, 14th among rookies), but he's having a big-time impact. In the Rockets' rare road win in Utah, Budinger broke out for 17 points and five rebounds and was the major catalyst for Houston. Budinger sprained his ankle late in the fourth and may miss a game or two, but Rick Adelman is going to have a hard time keeping Budinger off the floor.

7. DeJuan Blair, San Antonio Spurs

G	MPG	PPG	RPG	APG	SPG	BPG	FG%	3P%	FT%
3	20.7	8.3	8.3	1.3	.67	0.0	.706	.000	.333

Last Week: 7 | Drafted: 37
It's only been a week, but already it appears Blair could finish the season as the top rookie rebounder. Through three games, Blair is pulling in 8.3 boards in about 20 minutes of action. Behind Blair, at 5.0 per game, is New Jersey's Terrence Williams. Blake Griffin may give Blair a run for the title when he comes back from his knee injury, but for the near future Blair should continue to dominate the category.

8. DeMar DeRozan, Toronto Raptors

G	MPG	PPG	RPG	APG	SPG	BPG	FG%	3P%	FT%
3	20.7	7.3	4.3	0.7	.33	.67	.500	.500	.750

Last Week: 8 | Drafted: 9
DeRozan has started the Raptors' first three games and, despite seeing his minutes drop in each game, appears to have the starting job locked down. "I think the rookie has been very good in limited minutes and we're happy with where he is right now," said coach Jay Triano. Still, while Triano is happy with DeRozan starting, he prefers to play backup Antoine Wright in crunch time, which are minutes the rookie will have to earn.

9. Omri Casspi, Sacramento Kings

G	MPG	PPG	RPG	APG	SPG	BPG	FG%	3P%	FT%
4	21.0	10.3	2.5	0.5	.75	.75	.581	.444	.167

Last Week: NR | Drafted: 23
Most rookies have to represent their college, their hometown, maybe their state in the NBA. Try representing a nation. That's what Casspi -- the first Israeli in the NBA -- is doing. And doing it well. Casspi, who is averaging 10.2 points (fifth among rookies), has earned coach Paul Westphal's trust. "He's hungry," Westphal said after the King's home opener. "He brings a fierceness. I wish everybody could look in his eyes when I walk down the bench looking to put somebody in the game. He wants to play so bad."

10. Ty Lawson, Denver Nuggets

G	MPG	PPG	RPG	APG	SPG	BPG	FG%	3P%	FT%
4	19.5	9.0	2.3	2.8	1.2	0.0	.483	.400	.857

Last Week: NR | Drafted: 18
Lawson burst onto the scene in the Nuggets' opener, tallying 17 points and six assists against the Jazz. Almost immediately, the emails proclaiming him ROY started flowing into my inbox. Since then, he's come back to earth (my inbox has, too), but it looks like Denver has found the perfect understudy to Chauncey Billups.

 

[NO.8 Tracy McGrady Jr.]

버딩거!!!

[Eric Gordon]

제닝스는 96년 아이버슨 모드입니다... 스타일까지 비슷하고..물론 비주얼은 차이나지만.. 그래도 가장 센세이션을 몰고있는 신인이라고 봅니다.. 특히 팀에서 입지가 확고하기때문에 40분가까이 나올수 있다는것도 나름 신인왕싸움에 유리하다는거..

[The Melo]

타이 로슨이 10위 밖에 안되다니;; 우리 복덩이가;;

[우기꼬야]

그리핀....ㅜ-ㅜ

[《LAL》R.Artest]

플린 2위일줄 알았는데 커리가 예상보다 잘해주나보네요 전 커리 슛말고는 거의 없다고 해서 못할 줄 알았는데 그래도 괜찮네요 그리고 제닝스는 완전 대박~~

[No.33]

커리는 게임을 본 적이 없는데... 저 베티에의 말대로 게임에 대한 feel 이 확 박혀있는 것 같던가요? 보신 분 평 좀 부탁드려요. 그나저나 참 좋은 평가네요.

[못된남자]

1-5번까지가 다 포인트가드네요. 이런시즌도 있었나요? ㅎㄷㄷㄷ

[편하게 살자]

역시 커리는 좋은 선수였네요. 픽전엔 그닥이라고 평가 됬었는데... 커리 화이팅

[NBA TEAMS]

로슨 오늘 26점 넣었씁니다 ㅋㅋ

[kobe_24]

가드 풍년이군요

[클러치코비]

그리핀이 빨리 돌아왔으면 합니다.

[캠프만세]

1,2,3,5픽이 없는 아이러니함..

[캠프만세]

제닝스는...클래스는 고딩때부터 존재한다는 것을 보여주는 건가요 ㅎㅎ 유럽에서는 못했는데 스타일이 nba에 적합한건가. 대단하네요
