NBA 2019-20: Rookie of the Year Power Rankings Week 12

#4 Tyler Herro - Miami Heat

Memphis Grizzlies v Miami Heat

Tyler Herro endured his worst game of the season to date last week as he finished with just four points in 25 minutes against the Magic. The shooting guard shot 0-for-6 from beyond the arc as the Heat suffered a surprise defeat, although the 19-year-old was solid during home wins over the Raptors and Trail Blazers.

Against Toronto, Herro provided a valuable 13 points from the bench in a low scoring game, while his 11 points were enough to see off Portland. Over the two wins, Herro shot over 50 percent from the field, while also connecting with 5 of his 11 3-point attempts. The guard is in need of a breakout performance to re-establish himself among the favorites, although he is currently doing enough to stay in contention.

#3 PJ Washington - Charlotte Hornets

PJ Washington has established himself as a starter for the Charlotte Hornets

Plenty of young talent can be found on the Charlotte Hornets roster, and PJ Washington appears to be an individual that will play a key part for the organization for years to come. Washington's playing time has continued to grow over the course of the season, and the number 12 pick is now averaging 30.3 minutes per contest.

Over the past week, Washington was once again among Charlotte's best performers, and his best game came against the Mavericks as he connected with 19 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, and a block. For the season, Washington's totals have increased to 12.6 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 1.9 assists - and despite attempting more shots, the 21-year-old is still shooting more than 40 percent from 3-point range.
