This NBA rookie class has been nothing but fun for me to watch every night.

Not only does this group have superstar potential at the top, but the depth makes it hard for me to rank the 10 best each week.

We’re almost halfway through the season now though, which means we’re seeing who’s got All-Rookie honors locked up and who still has a ton of work to do.

Each week I’m also posing a question about the top prospects in the rankings. This week’s question: has Kristaps Porzingis hit the proverbial rookie wall?
