So the only other year that the rookie class had more was the 2019 rookie class had 13 players that averaged 10 or more points per game.
which there's there's definitely uh some players in that class this is the zion jaw class it was like zion jaw rj barrett eric pascal averaged 14 points that year yes yes yes ruey hero kobe white deandre hunter darius garland pj washington brandon clark cam reddish and kpj um
But I've just been so impressed with this rookie class.
I just think it is full of guys that are going to contribute at a very high level.
Will everybody that's a part of this group of 12 contribute at a high level throughout?
I don't know.
Probably not.
Caleb Love is one of those guys who I kind of like.
for the Blazers, but I'm not sure that he's some high-level contributor.
But you look at guys like Koop, Konkanipal, Vijay, Cedric Coward.
I think Ace Bailey is on his way.
He's looking pretty good.
Trey Johnson, Derek Queen.
This is just a really good class.
Dylan Harper, who has not been given the same chances that some of those other guys have, still averaging double digits.
And
one of the best defending guards as a rookie that I've ever seen.
I just think this class is going to impact the league at a really, really high level.
And just seeing some of these stats that Vijay and these guys are putting up just gets me really excited for what these guys can do in the future.
So I love this class.
