Exploring the 2025 NBA Rookie Class: Early Impressions and StandoutsThe 2025 NBA rookie class, led by Cooper Flagg, has been making waves in their first month of professional play. While some top draft picks are yet to shine, others like Sion James and Will Richard are exceeding expectations. James, a less-heralded player, is shooting an impressive 61% from three-point range, while Richard leads all rookies in player efficiency rating. Cooper Flagg, despite a rocky start, remains the top long-term prospect, averaging 15 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 3.1 assists per game. However, the current top spot belongs to Cedric Coward of the Memphis Grizzlies, who has been the best rookie of the 2025-26 season so far.
