the overall No. 1 selection in the 2010 NBA Draft, headline the 2010-11

Older NBA Rookie Stuff
NBA rookies are players who have not yet played in an NBA regular season game. Most of them are first-year players. And then you occasionally have a player like Greg Oden or Blake Griffin who suffered injury before the regular season started, wound up missing the whole year, and therefore are rookies a year later than expected.
Each NBA season there are usually just a few rookies who emerge as immediate stars. Select few other NBA rookies turn out worthy of starting. But the vast majority come off the bench, often barely receiving any real minutes.
It's fun to watch how the NBA rookie story unfolds over the course of each season. InsideHoops.com for 10+ years now has kept track of the rookie situation as the developments happen.
INSIDEHOOPS NBA ROOKIE OF YEAR WATCH
Updated October 22, 2010
Comments: The rebuilding Wizards will hand Wall the ball immediately and let him do whatever he wants. Wall has crazy speed, quickness, athletic ability, a high basketball IQ and the definite ability to compete for the 2010-11 NBA Rookie of the Year award.
2008-09 College Stats: 22.7 ppg, 14.4 rpg, 2.3 apg, 65.4% FG, 59.0% FT
Comments: Blake was the #1 pick one year ago, but missed the entire regular season due to injury and is still considered an NBA rookie. He's got just as good a shot at the award as Wall. We expect Griffin to average at least 15 points and eight rebounds per game this season.
2009-10 College Stats: 15.1 ppg, 9.8 rpg, 1.0 apg, 55.8% FG, 60.4% FT
Comments: Cousins looks ready to rock, and could put up something in the neighborhood of 15 points and 11 rebounds per game as a rookie. If he ever gets into great shape, he could truly be something special. On a roster like the empty one in Sacramento, Cousins should have an immediate impact. Whether it'll result in actual wins is another story.
Comments: Turner struggled in both summer league and preseason, and while neither of those levels of play properly emulate the NBA regular season, he still hasn't looked ready to make an impact. If that changes, we'll move him up from honorable mention to an actual ranking.
2009-10 College Stats: 16.1 ppg, 9.6 rpg, 3.8 apg, 52.5% FG, 66.0% FT
Comments: A great passing big-man who is probably best used at power forward, though he can also man the center spot. Plenty of room on the Pistons for Monroe to contribute pretty quickly, especially if he gets played at the five.
Comments: Johnson has shooting range and can help stretch the floor for the Wolves while Al Jefferson and Kevin Love work the paint. Tough to say how much ready he is to contribute right away.
2009-10 College Stats: 12.4 ppg, 8.4 rpg, 1.0 apg, 61.1% FG, 62.9% FT
Comments: Favors is super-athletic but extremely raw, and aside from rebounding and blocking shots, it appears he'll take some time before developing into a player the Nets can rely upon. The kid has talent, though, so maybe it'll only be a matter of weeks before they give him bigger minutes and greater responsibility.
ADDITIONAL 2010-11 NBA ROOKIE COMMENTS:
Gordon Hayward (Utah Jazz): Could turn out to be a rotation player and contributor off the bench, which may be more than the rookies we haven't mentioned will be able to say in the near future.
Paul George (Indiana Pacers): There's room for just about anyone on the Pacers to step up alongside Danny Granger and do big things. George, who will likely play when Mike Dunleavy sits down, may be able to do just that. He's worth watching.
Al-Farouq Aminu (Los Angeles Clippers): Appears raw and probably isn't ready to do anything special right away.
James Anderson (San Antonio Spurs): The Spurs always find diamonds in the rough who surprise everyone and contribute more than expected. Maybe this year it's Anderson.

2009-10 NBA Rookie of the Year award
April 20, 2010
Tyreke Evans of the Sacramento Kings is the recipient of the Eddie Gottlieb Trophy as the 2009-10 NBA Rookie of the Year, the NBA announced today.
Evans received 67 first-place votes (491 points) from a panel of 123 sportswriters and broadcasters throughout the United States and Canada. Golden State’s Stephen Curry finished second with 391 points and Milwaukee’s Brandon Jennings finished third with 204 points. Players were awarded five points for each first-place vote, three points for each second-place vote and one point for each third-place vote.
Selected with the fourth overall pick in the NBA Draft 2009, Evans averaged a rookie-and team-leading 20.1 points, as well as a team-high 5.8 assists (2nd among rookies) and 5.3 rebounds. Evans joined Oscar Robertson, Michael Jordan, and LeBron James as the only players in NBA history to average at least 20 points, five rebounds, and five assists in their rookie seasons. Among rookies, Evans also was first in minutes (37.2 mpg) and second in steals (1.51 spg), while leading in free throws made (348) and attempted (465).
A two-time Western Conference Rookie of the Month selection (October/November and December), Evans scored 20 or more points in 41 games this season, tops among rookies and the most 20-point games by a rookie in the Sacramento era. The 6-6 guard had a seven-game streak (Nov. 7-23) of scoring 20 or more points, tying him with Lionel Simmons for the most consecutive 20-point games by a rookie in the Sacramento era. Evans was named the MVP of the 2010 Rookie Challenge & Youth Jam on Feb. 12, at NBA All-Star in Dallas, recording 26 points, six rebounds, five assists, and five steals in leading the Rookies to a 140-128 win.
