One interesting tidbit about this year's rookies. "Last season, five rookies scored in double figures, and only one put up more than 13 points per game. This year, nine rookies currently stand in double figures with six above 13 points per game.
If those figures hold, they will both be the highest for a rookie class since 2008-09. And those high-scoring newcomers aren’t simply getting buckets by chucking for bad teams. Five of the nine double-digit scorers are shooting at least 49 percent from the field, and arguably the three highest performing players in the class suit up for squads currently in playoff position."
