Rookie watch

The 2014 draft, one of the most anticipated classes in recent memory, was talked about extensively here at Kfans.com. Though many of this past year's crop have struggled adjusting to the NBA, a few have flashed All-Star potential.

I'd like to start with Andrew Wiggins. After starting off slowly, and without a place in Minnesota's offense, he's taken off in the past month. Through his last 10 games he's averaging 21 PPG with a .494/.412/.750 slash line, and has scored 20+ in all but two of those contests.

 
I still like Elfrid Payton and Marcus Smart. Both having some good moments and show good promise. Was very disappointed when we passed on Payton.
 
My favorite rookies from this class are Wiggins, McDaniels, and Nurkic. It's a shame Gordon and Parker are injured.
 
We are pretty excited about Dante Exum. He has shown flashes of being a great point guard. He hasn't played a ton but I think that is the right way to handle him.
 
Wiggins has been consistently filling up the stat sheet for several weeks now. I'm really excited about his potential, even as a non-Wolves fan. As I mentioned above, it took some time for Minny to integrate him into the offense, but ever since they have, he's been a major factor.
