Top 5 Rookies in the 2018-19 NBA Season

In This Article:

With the NBA Regular season officially winding down in a couple of days, we saw how many rookies made a big impact this year for their respected teams. While there were many good rookies, 5 rookies stood out from the rest of the pack on leading their teams and here they are below.

Marvin Bagley III

Marvin Bagley has recently pushed himself as a top rookie by averaging 20 points within the last few games. He is making an impact for the playoff pushing Kings and fits perfectly with Fox and Hield. Bagley will soon be a premier all star and in the future could be a hall of fame player.

Kevin Knox

Kevin Knox has stepped up his game since being inserted into the starting lineup. He consistently scores over 15 points a game now and has been a plug in the poor roster of the Knicks. He has been their only bright spot and while he needs to improve, he has still been performing well enough to boost himself onto that list.

Deandre Ayton

There was so much hype about Deandre Ayton when the season and many expected him to be ROY. While that will not happen, Ayton has been a monster regardless. He is basically averaging a double double and is going to be a major part of the Sun's plans in the future.

Trae Young

Trae Young turned into a superstar after the all-star break. Honestly because of recency bias he seems like the ROY, but when all stats from the whole season are put together, Young comes second to Luka. Despite this, there's no secret why Young's nickname is Ice Trae. He comes up clutch in big moments. He's averaging over 25 points since the all star break and is also averaging almost 9 assists. Trae is a superstar in the making and reminds me of Steph Curry. The rest of the league better watch out for him.

Luka Doncic

Luka Doncic was undoubtedly the best rookie this year. He immediately became a superstar and was almost selected as an All Star. He became the clear leader of the Mavericks within the first 20 games and also consistently was a leader in the locker room as well as the court. He also averaged over 20 points a game this season and was also having triple doubles as well as dishing dimes to his teammates on a nightly basis. While Trae Young has given Luka a run for his money lately, Doncic is definitely the best rookie of his class so far.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
