This is our penultimate rookie power rankings for this NBA season. It’s been a long year, and we’ve seen some twists and turns with the rookies.
Joel Embiid, the player everyone viewed as the likely rookie of the year, has fallen in the rankings due to a season-ending injury. So a bit of suspense and surprise has been built into our last couple columns as we get to see who wins out.
Since Embiid is out for the year, there has been quite a bit of talk about Dario Saric as the best rookie.
