NBA 2019-20: Rookie of the Year Power Rankings Week 10

#4 Brandon Clarke - Memphis Grizzlies

Brandon Clarke has continued to improve throughout the opening two months of the season

Following a dismal start to the season, the Memphis Grizzlies have shown signs of life over the past few weeks, and Brandon Clarke has played a big role. The 23-year-old has yet to break into Memphis' starting lineup, although he has made a huge impact from the bench, averaging 12.7 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 1.2 assists per game.

Clarke recorded a career-high 27 points against the OKC Thunder last week and the rookie finished the game having connected with 13 of his 19 attempts from the field. For the season, the Vancouver native is also shooting an impressive 64% from the field, and despite a limited sample size, he is also shooting 43.3 percent from beyond the arc.

#3 Tyler Herro - Miami Heat

Tyler Herro has made a huge impact from Miami's bench

It has been well documented that Jimmy Butler has served as a mentor to Tyler Herro since landing in Miami, and the 19-year-old rookie has thrived under the All-Star's guidance. While playing prominently from the bench, Herro is averaging 14.0 points per game on 42% shooting from the field - and the shooting guard has proved to be a perfect fit on a selfless Miami team that firmly has its eyes on contending in the East.

While he is universally regarded as one of the most promising young shooters in the league, some critics have questioned Herro's overall skillset - although his playmaking skills were on show last week as he almost averaged a triple-double against the Philadelphia 76ers. Unless the Heat opt to make a bold move in the trade market, Herro's role will only grow as the season progresses, and he remains an outsider to be named Rookie of the Year.
