NBA 2019-20: Rookie of the Year Power Rankings Week 18

#4 Tyler Herro - Miami Heat

Tyler Herro is currently sidelined due to a foot injury

Tyler Herro has missed Miami's last five games due to a foot injury, and the shooting guard also missed the Rising Stars Game due to the injury. However, Herro has revealed that his injury is not as bad as first feared, and the 20-year-old plans to get his walking boot removed at some point in the next week.

Over 46 appearances, Herro has averaged 13.1 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 2.0 assists while shooting almost 40 percent from beyond the arc - and as long as he returns at some point in the next two weeks - he will remain a factor in the ROY race.

#3 Zion Williamson - New Orleans Pelicans

Zion Williamson has made a huge impression over his first 10 appearances in the NBA

After missing New Orleans' game against the Indiana Pacers, Zion Williamson returned to record a career-high 31 points against the Portland Trail Blazers. Williamson also contributed nine rebounds and five assists as he finished the game shooting 10-for-17 from the field.

Two days later, Williamson set another career-high as he recorded 32 points in 31 minutes against the Oklahoma City Thunder - becoming just the fourth rookie with consecutive 30-point games since 2013.

Through his first 10 appearances in the NBA, Williamson has averaged 22.1 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 2.2 assists per contest - and the Duke product appears to be a genuine contender for the ROY award despite his delayed start.
