Just when you think you’ve seen everything there is to see during Victor Wembanyama’s otherworldly rookie season, the San Antonio Spurs rookie merely uses his 7-foot-4 frame to raise the bar even higher. In a perfect encapsulation of almost everything Year One has offered, Wembanyama introduced the Los Angeles Lakers to everything but the kitchen sink. Vulture-like chasedown blocks that looked eerily similar to those of his Hall of Fame opponents? Check. Off-the-dribble drives and stepback 3-point bombs? You got it. All-encompassing court vision and improved playmaking? Of course. Constructing a box score befitting of both the size of his frame and his potential, the 2023 No. 1 pick poured in 27 points, 10 rebounds, eight assists, five steals, five blocks, and three 3-pointers in the loss on February 23, 2024. A walking record-breaker waiting to happen, Wembanyama became just NBA history’s second rookie to achieve a 5x5 game, and No. 22 all-time.

Victor Wembanyama

Unguardable and in the middle of the best performance of his young career to date, Chet Holmgren decided he wasn’t quite done making history just yet. Prescribing the Golden State Warriors with a dose of déjà vu from the left corner, the 7-foot-1 big adds another bullet point to the list of things normal 7-foot-1 players don’t do, curling off of a screen to catch an inbounds pass before balancing himself just well enough to connect on a game-saving, fallaway 3-pointer to force overtime. Drawing a collective gasp from the road crowd, the 2022 No. 2 pick starred in his role of crowd-silencer, upping his play for 36 points, 10 rebounds, five assists, two steals, two blocks, and two 3-pointers. Becoming just NBA history’s second-ever rookie to produce those numbers, Holmgren was heroic in the OT victory on November 18, 2023.

Chet Holmgren

Linking his Rookie of the Month honor in January with an even more impressive showing in February, Brandon Miller’s generational traits are beginning to coalesce at once. Settled into the most consistent two-way stretch of his career to date, the Charlotte Hornets forward sets his ambitions on the Toronto Raptors’ fastbreak layup attempt, taking flight from the free throw line before gliding through the air for a glass-pinning chasedown block. Keeping the awe-inspiring highlight clip rolling a bit longer, Miller hustles back in against a 5-on-4, sequencing the block with a smooth 3-point bucket from the top of the key. A nightly 20-point threat since the turn of the calendar, the No. 2 pick again lived up to the billing in the loss on February 7, 2024, contributing 20 points, four rebounds, two steals, one block, and a pair of 3-pointers.

Brandon Miller

Deemed a sleeper selection at No. 16 during the 2023 NBA Draft, Keyonte George is quickly blossoming into the type of scorer who keeps opposing coaches up at night. Assembling the type of performance fit for a duel against arguably NBA history’s greatest shooting backcourt, George took both the Golden State Warriors’ defense and the scoreboard operators for an adventure, raining in 3-pointers from wherever the court encouraged him to go. Woven into the fabric of NBA history by hitting nine triples — tied for the most by a rookie in a single game —  George put his budding star potential on tape with 33 points, six assists, and three steals. Despite falling short in a breathtaking fourth quarter comeback attempt, George and the Jazz issued the opposition all they could handle in a high-scoring loss on February 15, 2024.

Keyonte George

The birth certificate may say he’s 23-years-old, but Jaime Jaquez Jr.’s clutch gene, poise, and IQ are nothing short of proven veteran-tier. Already among the NBA’s elites in fourth quarter minutes played, Jaquez again rewards his coaches’ trust, opting first for a pump-fake to assess his defender’s aggressiveness. On to Plan B, Jaquez freezes the opposition in place with a subtle shimmy shake, extending that space with a pivot into a cold-blooded fadeaway bucket to add to the Miami Heat’s late-game lead. A celebrated bucket-getter in the California region, the first-round gem continued his elevated play during his homecomings, turning in 26 points, five rebounds, two assists, and four 3-pointers. Those efforts proved paramount in helping the Heat survive a shortened rotation on the way to a win on February 26, 2024.

Jaime Jaquez Jr.

Cam Whitmore’s future as a bucket-getting dynamo may be bright, but the Houston Rockets’ 2023 first-rounder can still see well enough to find his teammates for unselfish scores in the open floor. Exploding out in transition to supply his teammate with an outlet, Whitmore works perfect rookie-to-veteran synergy, holding a defender’s attention just long enough to whip a precise behind-the-back dime to his teammate, setting up a fastbreak slam. On a night in which the No. 20 pick came, saw, and conquered, Whitmore’s goggle celebration proved appropriate as he finished with an off-the-bench 25 points in just 21 minutes of play, alongside six rebounds, two steals, and three 3-pointers, sparking a convincing home win over the Toronto Raptors on February 2, 2024.

Cam Whitmore

An unprecedented combination of fanfare, hype and media coverage has made Victor Wembanyama one of the most highly anticipated prospects in NBA history. Undaunted by the attention, the No. 1 pick in the 2023 NBA Draft has done nothing but assure San Antonio Spurs fans that the franchise is in good hands so far. In the first regular season game of his career, Wembanyama seizes the opportunity to etch his name in the scoring column, stepping into a catch-and-shoot triple with 8:24 on the clock in the first quarter. Wembanyama finished his October 25, 2023 debut with 15 points, five rebounds and two steals.

A tantalizing combination of skill and size since the moment he appeared on the basketball radar, Chet Holmgren’s NBA debut with the Oklahoma City Thunder did not disappoint. Checked by a veteran big in the corner, Holmgren feigns a post move before pivoting into a picturesque turnaround jumper. Holmgren finished his October 25, 2023 debut with 11 points, four boards and three assists.

An electric package of athleticism and offense, Scoot Henderson is well-equipped to take the reins of the Portland Trail Blazers’ new backcourt. The No. 3 pick in the 2023 NBA Draft flashes a sign of the production to come with a quick-release – and borderline untouchable – floater for the first basket of his NBA career. Henderson finished his October 25, 2023 debut with 11 points and four assists.

Scoot Henderson

Expected to showcase the silky smooth offensive game and poise he showed off at Alabama eventually, Brandon Miller wasted little time answering the call as early as Day 1. Embroiled in a close game against a division rival, Miller fuels a strong Charlotte Hornets finish with an unguardable stepback triple in the fourth quarter. Miller’s contributions -- 13 points, including eight in the final frame -- were essential in his squad’s opening night victory on October 25, 2023.

Relentless on the glass and defensive end, Ausar Thompson didn’t waste time leaving an impression on his new ball club. Just minutes into his first regular season game with the Detroit Pistons, Thompson deflects a Tyler Herro shot attempt off the backboard. Thompson finished his debut contest on October 25, 2023 with four points, seven rebounds and five blocks.

Ausar Thompson

Crafty scorers put the ball in the basket, whatever it takes. Checked at the elbow in his first NBA contest, Jaime Jaquez Jr. gets his defender to bite with a pump fake, then lasers in on the cup and finishes the play with an acrobatic reverse layup. The first-year wing went a perfect 3-for-3 in his Miami Heat debut on October 25, 2023, adding two dimes and two steals in the process.

Any time he sets foot on the court, Amen Thompson puts pressure on the defense. After running his own defender off a high screen beyond the arc, the No. 4 pick in the 2023 NBA Draft drives straight to the cup, catches a help-side defender off-guard and throws down a memorable first dunk. The Houston Rockets rookie finished the October 25, 2023 debut contest with eight points and five rebounds.

Amen Thompson

Positioned to make an instant impact with the size and athleticism he brings to the Dallas Mavericks, it was Dereck Lively II’s motor down the stretch that shined in his debut. Embroiled in a tight, fourth-quarter battle between division rivals, Lively II battles for position on the glass with fellow rookie Victor Wembanyama, deflects the ball to a teammate, then loops back around to the hoop to throw down a putback slam off a miss. Lively II recorded a double-double in his first game as a pro, dropping 16 points on 7-of-8 shooting and added 10 boards in the October 25, 2023 win.

Dereck Lively II

Already effective picking apart defenses and manufacturing scoring opportunities, Keyonte George is an outright problem with NBA court spacing. Checked at half court in his first professional contest, George zips past his defender and floats through the paint for an untouched layup. George scored eight points in his debut with the Utah Jazz, adding two boards and two assists in the October 25, 2023 contest.

Watching that first NBA basket fall through the hoop is pretty high up on the list of dreams to achieve - nobody expects you to make your defender touch earth in the process. Sizing up a gap in the New Orleans Pelicans defense, Golden State Warriors rookie Brandin Podziemski wastes no time capitalizing, attacking his man off the dribble, leaving him in the dust on a crossover, then euro stepping into a finger roll. Podziemski finished with five points and eight boards in his October 30, 2023 debut.

Brandin Podziemski

Lauded as an NBA three-point threat the minute his name was called in the draft, Gradey Dick commands respect beyond the arc. After shuffling into position behind the three-point line in a half-court set, Dick draws the attention of the defense and promptly kicks the ball back to a wide-open teammate for three. The dime – Dick’s first career assist – came in a Toronto Raptors victory on October 25, 2023.

Gradey Dick

Unafraid to let loose from beyond the arc, the New Orleans Pelicans have a scorer in Jordan Hawkins. Spreading the defense in his first NBA contest, Hawkins bides his time beyond the arc before catching a pass and immediately firing up a deep triple. The first career basket of Hawkins’ career fell swiftly through the net and he added two assists in the October 25, 2023 victory.

Jordan Hawkins

With an offensive repertoire built to score in any scenario, Victor Wembanyama has shown his opponents everything but mercy. Calmly navigating through a sea of red on a pick-and-roll, the San Antonio Spurs big man finds a seam through the middle of the floor before taking flight for a violent, one-handed contact flush at the rim against the Houston Rockets. Adding yet another clip to his rapidly-growing rookie highlight reel, Wembanyama was all-encompassing in the loss on December 11, 2023, with 15 points, 18 rebounds, three assists, and five blocks.

An imposing big with a penchant for flying above the rim, Trayce Jackson-Davis adds yet another offensive option for the Golden State Warriors. After setting a formidable screen for teammate Chris Paul beyond the arc in his second NBA contest, Jackson-Davis rolls hard into the paint, catches a pass and soars for a two-handed flush. Jackson-Davis racked up 13 points and nine rebounds while swatting four blocks in the October 30, 2023 contest.

Trayce Jackson-Davis

Though touted for his elite on-ball defense, it didn’t take long for the unacquainted to learn there’s much more to Cason Wallace. Working off of a screen from fellow rookie Chet Holmgren, Wallace seizes an opportunity to create space from his defender and pull up for a jumper. Wallace didn’t miss in his October 25, 2023 debut, shooting 5-for-5 in a lopsided Oklahoma City Thunder victory.

Cason Wallace

Test Bilal Coulibaly’s defensive range if you want but it’s not recommended. Keeping track of his own check over the course of an Indiana Pacers possession, Coulibaly catches his man in the middle of a backdoor cut, then trails the attempt and spikes it out of bounds. It was one of three blocks in the October 25, 2023 debut for the Washington Wizards rookie, who also chipped in three points, four boards and three assists.

Bilal Coulibaly

With downhill speed and the strength to get where he wants on the court, Cam Whitmore can be a scary sight in transition. Seeing extended run in his third NBA contest, Whitmore eyes up a gap in his opponents’ defense and heads straight into the paint for the first bucket of his career. Whitmore finished the November 6, 2023 matchup – a Houston Rockets victory – with seven points.

As comfortable scoring the ball as ever, Marcus Sasser didn’t wait long into his Detroit Pistons career to bury his first deep three. Afforded space beyond the arc when his defender ducks under a screen, Sasser cues up and fires from two feet behind the line. Sasser, every bit of the scoring spark plug he figured to be ahead of the season, finished his October 25, 2023 debut with eight points in 10 minutes of action.

Marcus Sasser

Being the NBA’s youngest player hasn’t stopped GG Jackson from shooting with the poise and confidence of a seasoned veteran. Calm and collected as his teammates’ pick-and-roll unfolds, Jackson takes full advantage, rising from the left corner to drain a 3-point bucket, the first of his NBA career. Unsatisfied with just one bucket, the Memphis Grizzlies’ rookie forward kept the highlights flowing in the loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder on December 18, 2023, sparking the bench with eight points, two 3-pointers and a block in just 12 minutes of play.

GG Jackson

With size and vision to wreak havoc with the ball in their hands, big guards like Anthony Black thrive in the two-man game. Capitalizing on a gap created by a teammate’s quick screen, Black lunges into the paint and opts to call his own shot, canning a runner while absorbing contact for an and-1 opportunity. Black scored five points and added two blocks in his Orlando Magic debut on October 25, 2023.

Anthony Black

Good things happen when rookies hit their marks and make the right plays. Suiting up in his first NBA contest, Los Angeles Lakers rookie Jalen Hood-Schifino executes a halfcourt set with teammates, draws the attention of multiple defenders, then fires an assist in the opposite direction to D’Moi Hodge. The No. 17 pick in the 2023 NBA Draft recorded a pair of dimes in the November 27, 2023 matchup.

Jalen Hood-Schifino

There are few places on the basketball court beyond the reach of Jarace Walker. NBA ball carriers are about to learn that the hard way. Patiently trailing a transition attempt, the Indiana Pacers forward stalks his opponent before lunging out with a 7-foot-3 wingspan to knock the ball loose and generate a scoring opportunity for his own squad the other way. In addition to the steal in his first NBA contest on October 25, 2023, Walker hauled in four rebounds.

Jarace Walker

Confident shooters aren’t afraid to let it fly. After hauling in a rebound on one end of the floor in his NBA debut, Portland Trail Blazers rookie Toumani Camara trails his team down the court, shuffles into position beyond the arc and buries a wide-open lefty triple. Camara finished with seven points, two rebounds and a block in his first game on October 25, 2023.

Toumani Camara

Sasha Vezenkov is a threat from beyond the arc and he knows it - soon the rest of the league will, too. Spacing the floor in his first NBA contest, the 28-year-old Sacramento Kings rookie gets an opportunity, clears space with a ball fake then pulls up from deep. Vezenkov finished the October 25, 2023 contest with eight points, two rebounds and two steals.

Sasha Vezenkov

Calm, collected and unusually experienced for a rookie, Vasilije Micić provides instant impact for the Oklahoma City Thunder. The inbounder in a baseline out-of-bounds play, Micić executes the play to script, resulting in a wide-open triple for his first NBA points. The 29-year-old drained his only attempt and added an assist in the October 27, 2023 victory.

Vasilije Micić

Some 3-and-D in the PNW. Rookie Duop Reath flashes brilliance on both ends of the floor in his first career game, connecting on a long range trey and following suit with an emphatic rejection on the other end on the very next possession. The freshman scored 11 points and logged 3 boards and 3 assists in this loss on the road against the Los Angeles Lakers on November 12, 2023.

Duop Reath

To the NBA world, he’s quickly becoming an endless source of highlights; to opposing bigs, he’s quickly becoming a nightmare to contend with. Given a free runway to the middle of the floor, Chet Holmgren does the unthinkable, working a shot fake before pivoting into a breathtaking self-alley-oop slam. Captivating both the audience and his teammates, the 7-foot-1 center looked right in place in a star-studded battle against the Los Angeles Clippers on December 21, 2023. Helping guide a demonstrative win, Holmgren needed only 11 shot attempts to punish the opposition for 23 points, six rebounds, and seven assists.

The league may be different but the tenets of the game remain the same: follow your shot and stay with the play. Suiting up in his second NBA contest, Utah Jazz wing Taylor Hendricks drives baseline for a shot attempt, misses on the first try, then out-motors the defense for a rebound and putback. The ninth-overall pick’s first career basket came in a December 2, 2023 victory, along with five total points and a pair of blocked shots.

Taylor Hendricks

Broken plays happen, capitalizing on the chaos is a skill. Unfazed after a defender gets his hand on a pass, Milwaukee Bucks rookie Andre Jackson Jr. returns the favor with an interception of his own, then finds a teammate in the corner for the first assist of his NBA career. Jackson Jr. also racked up four rebounds in the October 29, 2023 matchup.

Andre Jackson Jr.

There are few better ways to earn the favor of new teammates than by knocking down open threes when called upon. Julian Strawther got the memo. Biding his time beyond the arc in his second NBA contest, Strawther waits for a swing pass and connects on a triple. Strawther finished with eight total points in a Denver Nuggets win on October 29, 2023.

Julian Strawther

The size of the stage might change but scoring is instinctual at any level. With an opportunity to take a defender one-on-one in his second NBA contest, Charlotte Hornets rookie Nick Smith Jr. lunges into the paint then spins into a pull-up jumper for the first points of his career. Smith Jr. finished the November 8, 2023 matchup with five points and a steal.

Nick Smith Jr.

With a reputation of doing a bit of everything to help his team in the win column, it’s no surprise that Olivier-Maxence Prosper was willing to battle for his first NBA basket. After calling for a skip pass from a teammate, Prosper loses one defender with a pump fake, drives hard along the baseline and absorbs help-side contact en route to two points. The Dallas Mavericks rookie finished the November 12, 2023 contest with four points.

Olivier-Maxence Prosper

Putting himself on the radar with a strong Summer League performance, Leonard Miller continues to be efficient in every opportunity with the Minnesota Timberwolves. Providing his teammate with a needed outlet, Miller cuts into the lane before calmly tossing in a reverse layup, the first points of his young NBA career. The second-rounder made the most of limited action against the Memphis Grizzlies, producing two points, two rebounds and an assist in just two minutes, supplying highlights in the win on November 26, 2023.

Leonard Miller

Undrafted and initially unknown, Cleveland Cavaliers guard Craig Porter Jr. bursts onto the scene in this game and records his first career assist. The Cavaliers went on to lose this matchup against the Indiana Pacers on October 28th, 2023.

Craig Porter Jr.

Making an impact starts with making the right basketball decisions night in and night out. Facing an opportunity in his NBA debut, Orlando Magic rookie Jett Howard swings the basketball into the corner for his first career assist. Howard, the son of 19-year veteran Juwan Howard, officially arrived as a second generation hooper on October 25, 2023.

Jett Howard

With the skill set and motor to contribute a number of ways, Kobe Brown isn’t going to wait long to make an impact for the LA Clippers. After hustling for a rebound on one end of the floor in his second NBA contest, Brown secures the rock and facilitates a transition effort while diving to the hardwood. Quick to recover, Brown trails the play, receives a pass beyond the arc and drains his first career basket. Brown finished the October 29, 2023 contest with three points, four boards and a steal.

Kobe Brown

Comfortable with the rock and blessed with a soft touch, Colby Jones is at ease navigating through big league defenses. Aggressive around a screen at the three-point line, Jones attacks toward the hoop, waits for an opportunity to score, then chips home a push shot for his first career basket. Jones finished with four points, three boards, a block and a steal in his third NBA contest on November 1, 2023.

Colby Jones

A forgotten man among the Portland Trail Blazers’ new look 2023-24 roster, it’s only fitting that Kris Murray’s first-ever NBA score came with the defense’s eyes elsewhere. With all attention focused on his teammate’s dazzling dribble display, Murray mixes brains and brawn, sneaking through the backdoor with a cut before finishing with an in-traffic jam. In the milestone game, Murray tallied five points, two rebounds and three assists in a loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on November 15, 2023.

Kris Murray

Patient and under control in his first NBA shift, Jalen Pickett reads exactly what the defense gives him for his first career basket. Checked at half court by an eager defender, Pickett methodically navigates around the pressure before finding himself wide-open for an elbow jumper. Pickett’s hoop put the finishing touch on the Denver Nuggets’ season opening victory on October 24, 2023.

Jalen Pickett

Strong finishes around the basket helped make Brooklyn Nets forward Noah Clowney a first round pick in the 2023 NBA Draft. It’s no surprise that Clowney’s first bucket in the NBA came on a flush. The Brooklyn Nets would come up short in this showdown against the Milwaukee Bucks, but the freshman finished with 14 points and four boards on December 27th, 2023.

Noah Clowney

Carving through every team in their path on their way to the first-ever In-Season Tournament championship, the Los Angeles Lakers were nothing short of historic. Eyeing a chance at his own history, 2023 second-rounder Maxwell Lewis creates his opportunity, providing his teammate with an outlet before finding the bottom of the net on a 3-pointer, the first bucket of his young NBA career. On a night in which 13 different Lakers scored, the rookie swingman fit in seamlessly with three points, one rebound, and one assist in eight minutes, contributing to the demonstrative win over the New Orleans Pelicans on December 7, 2023.

Maxwell Lewis

Possessing one of the most impressive athletic profiles across the 2023 NBA Draft, it only made sense for Jordan Walsh to pack his first-ever NBA score with a dose of explosiveness. Gliding down the floor at full speed in an attempt to catch the Memphis Grizzlies’ scrambled defense unprepared, Walsh fills the lane perfectly, opening the floodgates for a quick drop step and two-handed cram in transition. The second-round talent made good on his opportunity in the Boston Celtics’ blowout win, logging two points, one rebound, one assist, and a steal in just eight minutes of action in the milestone game on February 4, 2024.

Jordan Walsh

When the Chicago Bulls traded up for Julian Phillips in the 2023 NBA Draft, athleticism and versatility were precisely what they had in mind. Moving with a purpose, Phillips finds a seam in the Miami Heat’s zone defense, utilizing a strong gather step before showing off the soft touch for his first-ever NBA bucket. In just two minutes' time, the second-rounder was productive, tallying two points and a rebound in a loss on November 20, 2023.

Julian Phillips

A top-shelf bucket-getter in both the Summer League and G League circuits, Hunter Tyson decided he wasn’t going to waste much time crossing NBA milestones off his checklist, either. Called into action during the 2023-24 NBA season’s first week, the second-rounder fakes a baseline screen, opting to change direction for a well-timed cut that sets him up for a two-handed flush and his first-ever NBA points. In four minutes of play, Tyson contributed two points and one rebound during the Denver Nuggets’ loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves on November 1, 2023.

Hunter Tyson

Get on the court and find a way to make an impact. Suiting up in his first NBA contest, Dariq Whitehead eyes up a drive attempt while manning his own section of a zone, then shuffles over to a cutter and rejects an easy bucket. Whitehead and the Brooklyn Nets rolled to a victory on November 25, 2023.

Dariq Whitehead

Quickly building his résumé as one of the G League’s most dazzling scorers, it was only a matter of time before Kobe Bufkin, the 15th pick of the 2023 NBA Draft, introduced himself to the NBA world. With the Atlanta Hawks well on their way to a victory over the Los Angeles Lakers, the 2023 first-rounder seizes the opportunity for his first-ever NBA basket, snagging a rebound before calmly easing his way into a pull-up 3-pointer in traffic. Bufkin was a perfect one-of-one, scoring three points in two minutes of action during a win on January 30, 2024.

Kobe Bufkin

With an impressive 7-foot-3 wingspan and intriguing defensive versatility, Mouhamed Gueye is well-equipped to make the most of his early NBA action. Monitoring a rival ball carrier while simultaneously denying a kickout pass to the corner, Gueye flashes over to disrupt a drive attempt and force a turnover in an Atlanta Hawks victory on October 29, 2023.

Mouhamed Gueye

Consistent in his role as a talented, creative inside-the-arc threat throughout his G League experience, Sidy Cissoko can officially cross getting his first-ever NBA bucket off the checklist. Earning a pre-game soundbite from his Hall of Fame coach regarding his potential, the San Antonio Spurs second-rounder put those traits on tape, using a dribble handoff and pick-and-roll combination to carve a pathway into his favorite area before hanging a smooth, high-arcing floater past a Utah Jazz defender for the milestone score. The French forward made ultimate use of his two-minute appearance, chipping in four points and one rebound in the loss on December 26, 2023.

Sidy Cissoko

If you can shoot the lights out, think quickly, and play unselfishly, you’ll fit right in on the Golden State Warriors. Checking every box, Warriors rookie Brandin Podziemski adds to his expanding highlight reel, stealing an outlet pass attempt before beating both the Minnesota Timberwolves’ defense and the play clock with a one-legged 3-point bucket off the glass. Podziemski’s buzzer-beating triple helped Golden State stay competitive in a narrow loss on November 14, 2023. Rising to the occasion in the In-Season Tournament, the do-it-all rookie supplied 23 points, seven rebounds, five assists, and one steal.

Known for his smooth-as-silk offensive game in college, Brice Sensabaugh wasn’t about to let the opportunity for his first-ever NBA basket go unrequited. Despite being matched up against a 15-year NBA veteran, Sensabaugh’s between-the-leg crossover stands the test of time, freeing him on his path to an acrobatic, right-handed finish in traffic over a pair of Toronto Raptors defenders. Earning the game ball after the Utah Jazz’s convincing win on January 12, 2024, the 2023 first-rounder contributed five points, two assists and a 3-pointer in just three minutes of play.

Brice Sensabaugh

Well respected for his ability to let it fly from distance in college, it was only fitting that Ben Sheppard’s first NBA points showcased the same. Successfully filling the lane to catch the Boston Celtics’ transition defense unprepared, the smooth-shooting two guard sinks a milestone 3-pointer in traffic. Despite the losing effort, Sheppard contributed to the Indiana Pacers’ second unit —  the NBA’s No. 1 scoring bench —  with six points, two rebounds, two assists, and two 3-pointers on November 1, 2023.

Ben Sheppard

As his opportunities continue to rise, the speed of the NBA game often appears to be slowing down for Portland Trail Blazers guard Scoot Henderson. Easing his way into a pick-and-roll situation, the No. 3 selection takes a creative angle, wrapping a bounce pass around his defender with precision for a highlight-level feed. Crafting the third double-double of his young career, Henderson helped the Blazers exact revenge from the previous night’s loss against the Spurs, stuffing the stat sheet with 22 points, seven rebounds, 11 assists, and three 3-pointers on December 29, 2023.

If he isn’t letting it fly from the perimeter, Brandon Miller is often the one doing the flying. Using his speed to get behind the Detroit Pistons’ defense in transition, the Charlotte Hornets rookie reels in a pass before levitating through the air for an explosive slam to send the home crowd into a frenzy. The Hornets’ late rally would come up short on October 27, 2023, but the No. 2 selection looked right at home during his first week in the NBA, igniting for 17 points, six rebounds, one block, and a pair of 3-pointers.

In selecting Jaime Jaquez Jr., the Miami Heat’s remarkable run of finding gems deep into the first round appears to be rolling right along. Transporting his dazzling collegiate scoring to the pros, Jaquez Jr. shows off some impressive athleticism, sprinting the length of the floor to beat the Indiana Pacers for an energy-inducing, alley-oop jam to pad the Heat's late lead. Ramping up his game in a battle of Eastern Conference contenders, Jaquez Jr. did a little bit of everything with 24 points, five rebounds, and a steal in a thrilling victory on November 30, 2023.

Opponents are quickly learning that no layup attempt comes without a price when Trayce Jackson-Davis is checked in. Already among the NBA’s top producers in shots contested and opponent shot percentage allowed, the Golden State Warriors big provides something for the eye test, flying across the lane for a second emphatic swat against a Boston Celtics star. This rejection, an overtime swat that helped fuel a signature Warriors win, was one of the many impact plays for the first-year big, as he tallied up 10 points, 13 rebounds, and three blocks on December 19, 2023.

Sporting a lightning-quick release and the confidence to match, it didn’t take Gradey Dick much time to make an impact for the Toronto Raptors. Finding just a sliver of airspace with a 7-footer closely approaching, the talented Raptors sniper swiftly gets into his motion, finding the bottom of the net on a 3-pointer with the first quarter coming to a close. Despite the narrow loss to the Philadelphia 76ers, Dick produced the type of box score line that efficient shooters dream of, needing just eight shots to run off 16 points, along with two rebounds and four 3-pointers on October 28, 2023.

Gifted a two-way contract just a day before the regular season, Duop Reath has taken his opportunity and run with it, both literally and figuratively. Hustling on defense to force an ill-advised shot, the Portland Trail Blazers center keeps his motor hot, sprinting the length of the floor, earning a reward with a wide-open fastbreak slam. A hidden gem throughout the Blazers’ Summer League exhibitions, Reath’s breakout season reached a new height in an upset win over the Sacramento Kings on December 26, 2023. Energizing the second unit, Reath exploded for 25 points, nine rebounds, three 3-pointers, one steal, and one block.

Oozing with athleticism and ambition, Ausar Thompson has already become the wrong player to challenge in the air. Showcasing that two-way potential, the Detroit Pistons rookie plays phone booth-tight defense, blocking a perimeter shot attempt before speeding the length of the floor to take flight for a gravity-defying jam. Fittingly, Thompson took his game to a new height against the Atlanta Hawks, registering 21 points, eight rebounds, five assists, three steals and two blocks in a narrow defeat on November 14, 2023.

Pairing a tireless work ethic with rare athletic traits, Toumani Camara needed only a few weeks to become a trusted night-to-night starter in the Portland Trail Blazers rotation. Operating a pick-and-pop with a teammate, Camara turns on the turbos against lax closeout before exploding out of a cannon for a picture-esque one-handed throwdown against the Utah Jazz. Helping the Blazers force overtime despite the losing effort, the second-round forward contributed eight points, three rebounds, four steals, and a block on December 2, 2023.

Mere weeks into his NBA career, Dereck Lively II is already one-half of one of the league’s most prolific alley-oop connections. Seeking to put the finishing touches on a signature win over the Los Angeles Lakers, the rookie big perfectly times his cut, snagging a lob pass from the skies for a rim-shaking fourth quarter jam. Sharing the floor with superstars and impact players, Lively looked the part, supplying eight points, eight rebounds, two steals, and three blocks in the Dallas Mavericks’ triumph on November 12, 2023.

In putting his 3-and-D traits and athleticism on night-to-night display, very few rookies have earned their coaches’ trust as quickly as Bilal Coulibaly has with the Washington Wizards. Driving into what appears to be a closed-off lane against the Philadelphia 76ers, Coulibaly shifts into a second gear, speeding through with a gather step before soaring into the skies for an audacious throwdown in heavy traffic. Fighting valiantly in a narrow loss on December 6, 2023, the No. 7 pick was both efficient and effective with 14 points, three assists, and three steals.

It takes a special kind of athlete to throw down a reverse alley-oop jam and smile at the camera all in one motion. Racing down the floor to put on a breathtaking aerial display, Houston Rockets forward Cam Whitmore provides proof that he’s among that rare list. Whitmore’s stat sheet was just as eye-popping, with the first-rounder requiring just 14 minutes to put together a 14-point, four-rebound, two-steal ledger in a win over the Dallas Mavericks on December 22, 2023.

Tasked with keeping one of the NBA’s premier offensive talents under control, Cason Wallace certainly wasn’t one to be starstruck. Shadowing every movement, the Oklahoma City Thunder guard utilizes his tireless defensive instincts, timing up a steal before finishing with a one-handed stuff in transition. The Thunder’s 2023 lottery pick kept the scoreboard operators busy in the win over the Atlanta Hawks, to the tune of six points, four rebounds, and four steals in just 24 minutes of play on November 6, 2023.

Already one of the NBA’s most exciting offenses, the Utah Jazz have become even more must-watch with the progression of Keyonte George. Sensing an opportunity with a 3-on-2 advantage in transition, the dynamic Utah guard sprints down the floor untouched before jumping out of the gym with an explosive one-handed tomahawk. George’s brilliance helped the Jazz overcome the absence of its All-Star, holding off the New Orleans Pelicans for a narrow victory on November 27, 2023. Setting a then-career-high, George percolated for 19 points, five rebounds, three 3-pointers and two steals.

Few scenarios test the mettle and toughness of a young player quite like their first-ever NBA start. Thrown into the fire, Orlando Magic guard Anthony Black proves competent, outsmarting a Los Angeles Lakers defender with a veteran-like backdoor cut on a fake handoff. For Black, it also presented a taste of NBA history, as he became the first rookie since 1996-97 to start his career with 10 consecutive makes. Providing a share in the victory on November 4, 2023, the versatile talent chipped in 11 points, four rebounds, two 3-pointers, and a steal.

Matched up in a first-time duel against his twin brother, Amen Thompson predictably had some extra pep in his step. Working a pick-and-roll switch, the Houston Rockets forward lulls a Detroit Pistons defender to sleep with a crafty in-and-out crossover before finishing the and-one layup at the rim with touch. The opening day of the calendar year would be one to remember for Thompson, with the versatile rookie generating 12 points, four rebounds, six assists, and two steals in a victory on January 1, 2024.

It may be his first year in the NBA, but Vasilije Micić has long completed his PhD in playmaking. Residing among the NBA’s best in assist percentage and assist-to-turnover ratio, Micić shows his skills in transition, using a veteran move of bumping an opponent before calmly dropping in a pass between two Orlando Magic defenders for a fastbreak dime. The Oklahoma City Thunder guard did a lot of good in a short time, logging seven points, two rebounds, one assist, and a steal in a home victory on January 13, 2024.

Perfectly befitting of a player of his athletic specimen, Amen Thompson needed a mere five dribbles to show both his rookie class and established veterans alike what the future would hold. With the win all but secured and an opportunity to earn valuable pick-and-roll reps at hand, the No. 4 pick puts a fellow 2023 NBA Draft classmate through a game of hide-and-seek, eliminating him from the possession with a nifty behind-the-back dribble. Down to only a single defender in his path, Thompson uses a swift pass fake, forcing a Dallas Mavericks rim protector into a Texas two-step and out of his way, clearing his way for a floater off the glass. A star among the Houston Rockets’ second unit, Thompson contributed nine points, six rebounds, four assists, and a steal in the win over a Southwest Division rival on December 22, 2023.

Even a 2-on-1 fastbreak isn’t a guaranteed score if the defender is determined enough. Hustling back to defend the rim in transition, Utah Jazz forward Taylor Hendricks finds himself in an unenviable scenario, all alone with a pair of New York Knicks players closing in on the rim. Putting the best of his athleticism, wingspan, and rim protection skills to the test, the 2023 first-rounder makes a brilliant play on the ball with a highlight rejection. In a four-point Utah win on December 13, 2023, plays of that caliber proved crucial, with Hendricks contributing five points, four rebounds, two steals, and one block.

Just days into his arrival to the NBA, Marcus Sasser’s bucket-getting instincts have been nothing short of veteran-like. Baiting his initial defender with a smooth behind-the-back, the Detroit Pistons guard eliminates one defender before using a hesitation dribble to get to his spot for a pull-up jumper. With his team shorthanded and on the road against the elite Milwaukee Bucks, the smooth-scoring guard rose to the challenge, offering up 26 points, six rebounds, and three 3-pointers in a nail-biting loss on November 8, 2023.

Stocked to the brim with impressive talent along the perimeter, the New Orleans Pelicans may have struck gold once more in the form of Jordan Hawkins. Already heralded for his shooting ability, the Pelicans first-rounder shows off his versatility, disrupting a pocket pass attempt before flowing out in transition for an explosive late-game slam against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Down to a nine-man rotation, the Pelicans leaned heavily on their rookie, and Hawkins provided, putting in 15 points, four assists, three 3-pointers and a steal in a loss on November 18, 2023.

Knowing how precious playing time can be as a rookie, Olivier-Maxence Prosper has provided grit and intensity whenever his opportunity comes. Putting on a show on both ends of the floor, the rookie rotates over for an emphatic swat, before racing the length of the floor for a transition layup. With both of the Dallas Mavericks’ All-Stars nursing injuries, Prosper took full advantage, igniting for 20 points, six rebounds, two assists and one steal in the loss to the Houston Rockets on December 22, 2023.

A hustle play magnet during his college career, second-round forward Andre Jackson Jr. has had little issue bringing that same ferocity to the Milwaukee Bucks. Recognizing the Golden State Warriors’ failure to box out, Jackson Jr. uses his 39-inch vertical to fly in unimpeded for a rim-shaking putback slam. The play couldn’t have come at a better time, helping the Bucks to separate themselves in the fourth quarter, on their way to a victory on January 13, 2024. Playing the role as sixth man, the Bucks rookie provided a jolt with 10 points, 10 rebounds, two assists and one block.

With a hefty array of spins, pivots, and stepbacks in his offensive repertoire, Craig Porter Jr. has seldom looked overwhelmed, even in Year One. Already a respected three-level shooter, Porter Jr. gets to one of his favorite spots, baiting a bigger defender with a pump fake before pivoting into a silky-smooth fallaway jumper. The Cleveland Cavaliers guard did a little bit of everything in a loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on December 21, 2023, contributing seven points, three rebounds, 11 assists and one steal.

Used sparingly in his rookie season, Jarace Walker continues to be one of the Indiana Pacers’ best kept secrets. Showcasing the IQ that made him a coveted prospect, Walker uses a shifty crossover to force the Minnesota Timberwolves’ defense to help before putting some heat on a bounce pass to a cutting teammate for a highlight jam. Taking advantage of extended minutes in a loss on December 16, 2023, the No. 8 selection filled the stat ledger with five points, two rebounds, three assists, and two steals.

Already at an almost-unfair level when it comes to accumulating elite young talent, the Oklahoma City Thunder appear to have unearthed yet another gem in Cason Wallace. Efficient and unfailing in his contributions to a team that stacks among the NBA’s elites in every statistical category regarding rookies, the No. 10 pick steps up to the plate, easing his way into an outlet position for his teammate before draining a 3-point dagger, turning the Thunder’s fourth-quarter lead into something insurmountable. Nothing short of noteworthy in his rare start on January 18, 2024, Wallace missed just a single shot during his 16-point, four-rebound performance, pairing it with one steal, one block, and four 3-pointers in the entertaining win over the Utah Jazz.

Regardless of the game’s setting, scenario, or even opponent, Ausar Thompson’s early-season message to even the most established of offensive stars remained the same: not in his house. An already-perfect personification of the “Motor City” mantra, the Detroit Pistons rookie hustles his way into the help defense fray, levitating through the air to swat away a Phoenix Suns layup attempt as if it were a fly at a barbeque. Though ultimately falling short of a victory on November 5, 2023, Thompson’s first two weeks were historic, with the No. 5 pick constructing a box score line that takes a breath or two to recite. Thompson powered his way into 14 points, nine rebounds, four assists, four blocks, four steals, and two 3-pointers, becoming just NBA history’s third-ever rookie to amass those numbers in a single game.

There may not have been a better time for Nick Smith Jr. to put together his breakout performance. Attempting to pull off an improbable late-game comeback against the reigning NBA champions, the talented rookie guard gets to work, forcing a defender to bite on a pump fake before raising up for a ice-in-veins 3-pointer. Bringing the crowd out of their seats, Smith Jr. was magnificent in a loss to the Denver Nuggets, running of 17 points and five 3-pointers in the fourth quarter alone, on the way to a 19-point, three-rebound performance on December 23, 2023.

With the Sacramento Kings’ In-Season Tournament hopes hanging in the balance against a fierce rival, Sasha Vezenkov picked the perfect time for one of his best performances. Helping trim the Golden State Warriors’ 24-point lead to just two with five minutes to play, Vezenkov displayed the clutch moxie of a longtime veteran, lining up a contested, 3-point bucket. Among the heroes in the come-from-behind win, the smooth-shooting forward delivered eight points, four rebounds, two blocks, and two 3-pointers on November 28, 2023.

In front of the home crowd, and in a head-to-head duel against the Portland Trail Blazers’ former face of the franchise, Scoot Henderson only had his mind on one thing: getting to the rim. Swift both mentally and physically in his reaction to the Milwaukee Bucks’ pick-and-roll communication error, the No. 3 pick charges the right-side corner with moxie, speeding down the baseline unimpeded and on his way to a one-handed reverse flush. Continuing his steady month-to-month progression, the athletically-gifted floor general energized the second unit with 15 points, four assists, and two 3-pointers in just 22 minutes of play, bolstering his team to a primetime, signature win on January 31, 2024.

It took all of six games before Denver Nuggets rookie Julian Strawther decided he wanted to go and make some history. Settling into a soft spot against the New Orleans Pelicans’ disorganized transition defense, Strawther, in the midst of a breakout game, gets the home crowd rocking with a 3-point bucket. The 2023 first-rounder could do no wrong in the come-from-behind win over the New Orleans Pelicans, tallying 21 points and five 3-pointers on November 6, 2023, becoming NBA history’s first rookie to hit those numbers in fewer than 20 minutes of play.

Contributing to the NBA’s most veteran-heavy team, Kobe Brown is providing the Los Angeles Clippers with a fountain of youth. Respected and renowned for his raw athleticism and power, the rookie big puts an example on tape, freezing a defender with a fake spin before steamrolling through the lane for a one-handed flush. Called on for extra opportunities against a Pacific Division rival, Brown made the most of it with an efficient seven points, six rebounds and one block in a win over the Sacramento Kings on December 12, 2023.

Sharing the floor with a teammate reverently known in NBA circles by the nickname “The Point God,” Brandin Podziemski decided to take his chance on summoning a bit of that power. Applauded for his already-unshakable confidence, the rookie guard tests his boldness, contemplating how to needle a pass in between a pair of Portland Trail Blazers. Swinging the ball behind his head to generate the required velocity, Podziemski threads in a dime that appeared to be measured to the precise angle and calculation, just out of reach of the opposition and right into the hands of his teammate for a jaw-dropping dish. Leaving even his teammates to ponder what just transpired, the Golden State Warriors first-round pick kept the momentum flowing all throughout the win on December 23, 2023, chalking up a veteran-like 15 points, 10 rebounds, seven assists, one steal, and one block.

A member of the Indiana Pacers for only a matter of seconds, Washington Wizards guard Bilal Coulibaly made up for lost time in the best way possible: punishing their defense with an extended stay at the rim. Heeding the age-old advice of following your shot, Coulibaly’s hustle affords him an opportunity at a second shot attempt. Taking in the scene of the Indiana Pacers’ scrambled defense, the No. 7 pick trusts his ability to win the race to the rim before the opposition can react, proving successful with a jarring one-handed flush over a vulnerable rim protector. A bright spot during the Wizards’ lost season, the talented swingman used his athleticism to do a little bit of everything, livening Washington’s second unit with 17 points, five rebounds, two steals, one block, and a pair of triples to fuel a home win on December 15, 2023.

A sure-to-be-feared deep-range shooter from the moment he walked the stage during the 2023 NBA Draft, Gradey Dick has officially graduated into stage two of being a respected sniper: punishing overly-aggressive closeouts. Earning a quick confirmation of how opponents view him on the scouting report, Dick takes a pass from the left corner with his defensive assignment breaking into a full sprint to run him off of the 3-point line. Out to offset his eagerness, the 2023 No. 13 pick starts his swift drive down the baseline, whirling an across-the-rim, reverse scoop layup off the glass, putting on just enough English to keep it away from the outstretched arms of a respected Cleveland Cavaliers rim-protector. A leader on the Toronto Raptors’ second unit, Dick performed admirably in a loss on February 10, 2024 with 14 points, one assist, and three 3-point makes.

Living up to his name in more ways than one, Dereck Lively II has succeeded in breathing new life into the Dallas Mavericks’ already-potent offensive attack. Tethered closely with his All-Star teammate, the 2023 first-rounder puts the symbiotic, league-leading pick-and-roll partnership to work, faking a ball screen just effectively enough to slip behind a pair of Oklahoma City Thunder defenders before rolling to the rim for a hanging, acrobatic poster jam over a fellow first-year big. On pace to produce NBA history’s highest field goal percentage for a player in Year One, Lively’s box score in the loss on December 2, 2023 reflected as such with 20 points —  on a perfect nine of nine shooting —  along with 16 rebounds, seven blocks, and one steal.

The New Orleans Pelicans don’t shoot a ton of 3-pointers relative to the rest of the NBA, but when they do, defenses had better hope it isn’t No. 24 letting it fly. Forcing the opposition to pick which poison it wants, the smooth two-guard works a post entry pass and then a re-post to keep them guessing. Unwilling to continue playing the waiting game after the ball locates him for a second time, Hawkins locks, loads, and then raises up for a picture-esque 3-pointer to extend the Pelicans’ fourth-quarter lead. Already nuanced in the art of off-ball movement and catch-and-shoot accuracy, the No. 14 selection took full advantage of his extended tick with each of New Orleans’ top three scorers on the mend. In the win over the Dallas Mavericks on January 13, 2024, Hawkins again surpassed his career-high, shooting the leather off of the basketball for an efficient 34-point outing, along with five rebounds, four assists, two steals, and six 3-pointers.
