Top 5 Rookies Right Now In The NBA

#4 Dennis Smith Jr. (Dallas Mavericks)

Dennis Smith Jr.

Dennis Smith Jr., the rookie was drafted by the Dallas Mavericks with the 9th pick in the 1st round and he is living up with a hype like no other. With 14.6 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 4.4 assists per game, Dennis Smith Jr. is a driving force for the Dallas Mavericks' roster. Right now Smith is the most explosive player in Dallas' team.

While he is on the bench, the Dallas Mavericks feels some missing explosiveness which Smith has. With J.J. Barea, Smith becomes more of a playmaker than a scorer. While Smith makes some smart plays for Barea, Barea takes shots and drives to the basket.

Dennis Smith Jr. has a lot to learn about this game, being a 19-year-old Guard, he is doing fairly good in terms of his offensive skills, but still has a long way to go as an NBA player.
