We're at the midpoint of the NBA season, which is typically when we hear about players starting to hit the fabled "rookie wall." However, the stars at the top of this year's rookie class show no signs of slowing down. Victor Wembanyama, the No. 1 pick in the 2023 draft, recently recorded his first career triple-double, needing just 21 minutes of game action to do so. Chet Holmgren, the No. 2 pick in the 2022 draft, is shooting 71.4% over his past three games, all Thunder wins. And they're not the only rookies making noise in January.
