NBA '25-'26 Rookie Class (non Spurs)

[Valparaiso]

I love watching Cedric Coward play. His BBIQ is sky high, and he rarely makes rookie mistakes. The only issue I've seen in the past has been him deferring too much to the vets on Memphis, which is understandable as a rookie trying to find his comfort zone while also staying aggressive. Tonight he put up 23 pts, 14 rebs, & 5 assists in 28 minutes and looked like the best player on the team while guarding both Kawhi and Harden at different times.

 

[LeBowen]

Haven't been paying attention, I hope he can develop and translate his game to winning basketball.
Looks like a taller Diaw.

After some fallow years, young American players are replenishing the cupboards. I can see a very strong US men's basketball team before long with Flagg, Knueppel, Cade, Holmgren, Castle, Harper, etc...

Edgecomb 76ers is solid all around rookie.
While i am 100% happy with Harper, Edgecomb would have been a solid, if lesser selection had we now came in 2nd on the ping pong balls.

Kinda reminds of the good Steven Jackson for a season before he became in ingrate.
