I believe the rookie of the year will be Andrew Wiggins, and I do not think I am alone on this one. Wiggins was the number one overall pick of course, and was a part of the trade that brought Kevin Love to Cleveland shortly after. After getting off to a relatively pedestrian start, the young man has stepped up his game going for over 20 points on multiple occasions. Wiggins is averaging just under 16 points per game this season, shooting around 44% from the field and 35% from three. For a rookie who was not thought to be a great shooter, 35% from three is pretty impressive. Just recently he went for a career high 30 points in a loss to Houston. The now Minnesota Timberwolves rising star is well on his way to becoming an all-star type player and maybe a future face of the league. His only real competition was Jabari Parker at the beginning of the season, but Parker's injury ruined any chance he had.
