MPG PPG RPG APG SPG BPG FG% 3P% FT%

Last Week: 1

Brandon Jennings will end the season on top of the rookie rankings. Will he be the future rookie of the year? Jennings had a solid season averaging 20 ppg on 40% shooting. On top of that he added 2 rebounds, 4.7 assists, and 1.3 steals a game. Very good numbers for a rookie. The Suns only won 29 games, but the future is bright if they hold on to this future superstar.


2. Terrence Williams, SF, Hou

Last Week: 2

Terrence Williams stays in the number two slot to end the season. Just 0.5 points behind Brandon Jennings. Williams also had a solid season, scoring 20 ppg on 46% shooting. He also averaged 3.7 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.1 steals, and started all 82 games for the Houston Rockets. Like the Suns, the Rockets only won 29 games. With another lottery pick, the Rockets could be a playoff contender next season.


3. Taj Gibson, PF, NO

MPG PPG RPG APG SPG BPG FG% 3P% FT%

Last Week: 3

Taj Gibson sticks at the third slot to end the season. He began the season as a starter, then went to the bench, then became a starter again. He has shown he is a solid player and can give you 10 and 10 on a nightly basis. He grabbed 17 rebounds in a game against the Thunder, and could provide much help for the Hornets in this years playoffs.


4. DeJuan Blair, PF, SA

MPG PPG RPG APG SPG BPG FG% 3P% FT%

Last Week: 4

Another player who hasnt moved position from last week is DeJuan Blair. Blair was a steal in the draft at pick #19. As a starter he has put up 16 points, 7 rebounds, and 1 assist per game. In week 15 he averaged 25 points and 7 rebounds a game. If he had started all season he would have been a contender for rookie of the year.


5. Stephen Curry, PG, Mia

MPG PPG RPG APG SPG BPG FG% 3P% FT%

Last Week: 6

Stephen Curry has moved up one spot from 6th to 5th this week. Curry had a solid season averaging 16 ppg, with a career high of 35 against the Lakers. But Curry didnt just shoot the ball, he ranked 24th in the league in assists averaging 4.1 a game. The Heat have much to look forward to with Curry, and another lottery pick coming soon!


6. Omri Casspi, SF, OKC

MPG PPG RPG APG SPG BPG FG% 3P% FT%

Last Week: 5

Omri Casspi dropped a spot from last week. Casspi shot 48% from the field, and 41% from down town as a starter. But coming off the bench he only shot 27% from the field and 14% from down town. Minnesota was wise to keep him starting for most of the season. Casspi could be one of the big names in this years playoffs.


7. Jonny Flynn, PG, Cle

MPG PPG RPG APG SPG BPG FG% 3P% FT%

Last Week: 7

Jonny Flynn sticks around at the 7th spot. Flynn had great numbers as a starter for the Cavaliers. 19.5 points, 2.1 rebounds, 4.1 assists, and 1.9 steals per game. Its a shame he played half the season from the bench. He really could have been in the number one spot if he had. Still, he had a good season for a rookie.


8. Tyreke Evans, PG, Sac

MPG PPG RPG APG SPG BPG FG% 3P% FT%

Last Week: 8

Tyreke Evans sticks around in the 8th spot. His playing time has been in the headlines more than what numbers he has been putting up in recent weeks. Sacramento sneaked into the playoffs, will they keep Evans on the bench? Coming off the bench Evans averages 7.2 points, 2.0 rebounds, and 1.2 assists. As a starter he averages 15 points, 3.5 rebounds, 3.4 assists, and 1.3 steals a game.


9. James Harden, PG, NY

MPG PPG RPG APG SPG BPG FG% 3P% FT%

Last Week: 9

James Harden stays at the 9th spot to end the season. Harden had a good season, putting up a career high of 34 points against the Bobcats. In the final week of the season he averaged 13 points a game as a starter. Shooting almost 50% from the field, and down town combined. He could be a playoff difference maker this year!


10. Darren Collison, PG, Phi

MPG PPG RPG APG SPG BPG FG% 3P% FT%

Last Week: 10

Last but not least, Darren Collison sticks around to make the final top ten list. Collison has been a terrific find for the 76ers, and even though he has his bad days of shooting, he is still one of the best point guards to come out of this years draft. In the final week of the season Collison scored 19.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.3 steals a game.
