Honorable Mention: Emmanuel Mudiay

This was one of the hardest exclusions, but Emmanuel Mudiay didn’t do much to put himself in the conversation this season as one of the top rookies.

Yes, the learning curve is steep for a 19-year-old point guard tasked with quarterbacking an NBA offense right out of the gate, but he turned the ball over at an astronomically high rate and looked lackluster shooting the basketball from distance.

Both of those abilities are more important than ever for a floor general to have control over and Mudiay failed to live up to the hype he had coming into the draft. This isn’t a knock on him in terms of his potential, as he could still end up as the best lead guard in this class, but after watching him and the rest of his peers there are better players that deserve a pick over him at this point.
