Who are the NBA's top rookies entering the season? Who might start? What about expectations for Bronny James? Here's our list, and what we're hearing.
Let's get this part out of the way -- the expectations for the 2024 NBA rookie class aren't sky-high compared to past drafts that had more star power. Thaton the fly promises to be an interesting NBA subplot all the way through late March.
The immediate test will be whether he'll make enough shots from deep to keep opponents honest -- he took 16 shots from beyond the arc in four preseason games.The rebuilding Wizards are headed back into the lottery sweepstakes this season, and will feed Sarr plenty of developmental minutes to help him adjust. He had some good flashes in preseason, notably making 7 of 13 3-point attempts in three games.
: Knecht's 35-point preseason performance bodes well for his chances of finding a foothold in the Lakers' rotation, and he chipped in a solid 16 minutes inoff the bench. L.A.'s best chances of competing for the playoffs involve Knecht getting comfortable as a secondary scorer -- the Lakers aren't remarkably deep -- and he should get a long look thanks to his shooting ability.
One of the most surprising developments from preseason -- and one that might be meaningful -- is that Suns rookie Dunn attempted 30 3-pointers in five games, and made 13 of them . He hit six in one game against the, a far cry from where his reputation sat a few months ago. For key context, he made eight 3-pointers total last season at Virginia.
