Welcome to the third installment of numberFire’s Rookie Power Rankings. We now have six weeks of the season under our belts, so let’s take a look at the rookies who have performed the best.
As usual, we’ll be using our nERD metric to evaluate which rookies have been helping their teams the most throughout the season. nERD indicates how many wins above or below .500 a player would make an average team over a full season.
We are still limiting our consideration to players that have averaged at least 15 minutes per game since we’re only six weeks into the season.
