2021 NBA Awards Season
The Final 2021 NBA Rookie of the Year Ladder
Let’s count down the top 10 NBA rookies. Is LaMelo Ball or Anthony Edwards the Rookie of the Year, and who else stood out?
IT HAS BEEN AN ABSOLUTELY WILD 24-HOUR CYCLE IN THE NBA. The playoffs are in full swing and changing at every moment, guys are getting injured left and right, coaches and GMs are leaving their positions… our pets HEADS are falling off!! Let’s escape the crazy for awhile and kick off 2021 NBA Awards Season with a look at the top rookies from the year. LaMelo Ball was a stud from the start, while Anthony Edwards came on strong late, but is either one of them the deserving Rookie of the Year?
Incredibly, five different rookies led their NBA team in minutes played this season. Five! That’s one in six teams that gave their most time on the court to a guy who had never played before this year, who never even got Summer League or training camp or preseason in the pandemic.
How many of those five can you name? The answers are Saddiq Bey, Anthony Edwards, Theo Maledon, Isaac Okoro, and Jae’Sean Tate. But do you even know which teams those five play for? And how many of those guys make our final Rookie Ladder top 15? Let’s dive in and pick a Rookie of the Year.
