There are many excellent rookies throughout the NBA right now but it’s not clear who will win Rookie of the Year.

The season is young and there is still plenty of time for changes but right now, Zach Edey is doing more than anyone else from the 2024 draft.

The Memphis Grizzlies star is the top-scoring rookie in his class with 11.1 points per game, according to NBACentral.

He is followed by Carlton Carrington of the Washington Wizards with 10.3 points, Alex Sarr and Jaylen Wells with 9.8 points, and Zaccharie Risacher with 9.4 points.

Rookie leading scorers:

Zach Edey – 11.1
Carlton Carrington – 10.3
Alexandre Sarr – 9.8
Jaylen Wells – 9.8
Zaccharie Risacher – 9.4
Tristan da Silva – 8.3
Kyshawn George – 7.7
Pelle Larsson – 7.3
Dalton Knecht – 7.3
Jared McCain – 7.0 pic.twitter.com/Plpl52QZSf

With numbers like that, Edey is likely the current frontrunner for Rookie of the Year – but can he keep it going all season long?

Edey has amazing skills and is also scoring 6.5 rebounds per game.

He has quickly made his way into the Grizzlies’ rotation and has started in all eight games this season.

Of course, Edey has the added benefit of playing for a legitimately strong team, which makes his season even more impressive.

There were questions about him when the draft rolled around last June, with some people feeling his style of playing and athleticism wouldn’t fit in the league.

Those criticisms have been silenced for the time being.

Now Edey has to keep it up and continue to perform well all season if he wishes to win Rookie of the Year.

Grizzlies fans were excited for this season for a number of reasons, mostly because they were getting Ja Morant back.

But the strong start from Edey makes them even happier and hopeful for the months ahead.
