After scoring 33 points in the Nets two big wins over Boston and Houston, Rodions Kurucs remains in the top ten of the NBA.com and CBS Sports rookie rankings. NBA.com has him just outside the top five and CBS at No. 9.
Kurucs has scored in double digits in four of his last five and was huge in helping the Nets win against the Celtics (19 points on 7-for-11 shooting) on Monday and Rockets (14 points on 7-for-12 shooting) on Wednesday.
Similarly, Colin Ward-Henninger at CBS Sports says Kurucs played well last week.
