Rookie of the Year

The reigning Rookie of the Year and the franchise cornerstone, a 19-year-old two-way forward who already does a little of everything — 21.0 points, 6.7 rebounds and 4.5 assists with real defensive feel (1.2 steals, 0.9 blocks). The jumper is the swing skill (just 29.5% from three) but the playmaking, the rim protection for his size, and the competitive motor are all star-level foundations. A future superstar.
