There's an impressive class of NBA rookies who have begun their careers on great notes this season. Often times, a rookie enters the league and takes several seasons before he acclimates, looking rather shaky at first before adjusting to the ways of the league.
But that's not the case right now as we have been privileged to watch some very extraordinary rookies who have shown that they have everything a veteran player has. In the long run, this is such a good thing and means that they will most likely have a long career ahead of them.
Let's take a look at a few of the top NBA candidates for rookie of the year this season. Here are a few of the most likely possibilities.
If you asked anyone a month or two ago, Brandon Jennings might have been the consensus answer. He came out with a bang this year, highlighting his impact with an incredible 55 point performance in November.
The down side is that because Jennings has only been doing about 30% over this last month, he is not in the running at the present time.
The new favorite at this point is Tyreke Evans, the Sacramento Kings guard being credited for turning around last year's worst NBA team. He is a star in the making, and his averages of over 20 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists are just phenomenal.
Another potential dark horse candidate is his teammate, Omri Casspi, hailing from Israel and in the league for his first season. Shooting nearly 50% from the field, Casspi is making a ton of three pointers and playing impressive defense too.
In Golden State, point guard Stephen Curry has looked great so far, playing extremely efficient basketball at the position. This bodes really well for the future of the franchise, though it'd take a bit of a step up in second half production in order for him to garner consideration.
Lastly, there's one more point guard in the mix, and this is Johnny Flynn in Minnesota. The point guard from Syracuse looks nothing like a rookie this year, and he looks destined to have a great career.
