The players within the 2014 rookie class are starting to become members of each of their teams’ respective rotations and look like they have finally gotten their legs under them. These rookies are getting better each and every week and because of their production in games, their skill set’s are starting to translate to the speed of the NBA.

Rookies like the Chicago Bulls forward Nikola Mirotic has had a great week. While he managed to start and crack the rotation, he’s also become a go-to player and one of the dark horses in our Rookie of the Year award race.

In addition the rookie that a lot of people are impressed with is the No. 1 pick in the 2014 NBA Draft, Andrew Wiggins. The athletic 6’8″ small forward is starting to become a very fluid offensive player. He’s had multiple 20-point games during the week and if there ever a reason to watch Minnesota Timberwolves basketball his game is more than enough of a reason to.

With that being said let’s begin our rankings.
