NBA: 8 rookies who have impressed in 2018-19

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Los Angeles Clippers 

The Los Angeles Clippers really like what they have found in Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. He is showing a lot of maturity for a young 20 year old kid. Alexander is also showing a very smooth jumper and that pleases the Clippers quite a bit.

Shai is averaging 9.0 points per game, getting around 27 minutes a game, leading his team in steals at 1.2 per game, and worked his way to be the back up point guard for the Clippers.

He is a work in progress, but the Clippers like the work that Shai has put forth so far. Much like many on this list, the sky is the limit for this kid, and will only get better as the season continues to unwind.
