NBA Rookie Power Rankings: Porzingis, Towns Battle For Top Spot Through 20 Games

3. Nemanja Bjelica, Minnesota Timberwolves

Stats: 6.9 points, 5.7 rebounds

Nemanja Bjelica isn’t the first name that’s going to pop up when talking about this year’s rookie class. Heck, the casual fan probably has no idea who he is or what team he plays for. But their loss is the Minnesota Timberwolves’ gain.

Bjelica is averaging nearly seven points on 39 percent shooting from three-point range this season. He’s been a solid stretch-4 for the Wolves this season in limited time. He’s only averaging 24 minutes per game this season, but could see an increase in his playing time as the season unwinds.

All in all, Bjelica is a solid rookie. And when you already hit a home run on Karl-Anthony Towns with your No. 1 overall pick, snagging Bjelica in the second round (2010), who just made the move to the NBA, is a solid addition.
