Rui Hachimura reeneters NBA.com’s Rookie Ladder

Before this season began, I predicted that Rui Hachimura would make an All-Rookie team with the Washington Wizards.

While that is far from a guarantee, Hachimura has looked good to great through the team’s first 20 games. After arguably the best week yet of his career, Hachimura finds himself back among NBA.com’s Rookie Ladder.

Each week the Rookie Ladder looks at all the top-performing rookies in the NBA and creates a mini-power ranking for the league’s newest players.

This week’s edition had Hachimura ranked fourth behind Eric Paschall, Kendrick Nunn, and Ja Morant, and ahead of RJ Barrett.
