NBA Rookie Rankings: 76ers' Tyrese Maxey gets high praise from Joel Embiid; Pistons' Killian Hayes busts loose

Many rookie seasons will come to an end on Sunday, while others will try to crack the postseason rotation

The final week of the regular season is nearing completion and that means that for many of these rookies their first year will officially come to an end on Sunday. Guys like Anthony Edwards, Saddiq Bey, Isaac Okoro and Cole Anthony will be watching from home after this week as other rookies potentially get a chance at helping their teams in the playoffs. Some rookies like LaMelo Ball and Immanuel Quickley will be rotation regulars when the postseason rolls around, while other first-year players may see their minutes decreased in the playoffs. We'll just have to wait and see how much of an impact these guys can make in their first postseason appearance Now moving on to this week's rankings, which will reflect a rookie's performance on a week-to-week basis only, not the collective season. These aren't Rookie of the Year standings. With that straightened out, here is a look at the top rookies this week. Since being inserted into the starting lineup this week, Martin has been showing out in the opportunity he's been given. He's started the last five games for Houston and has put up 20-plus points in four of them. While this dunk below made the rounds on social media, and the ensuing reaction from Milwaukee Bucks big man Brooke Lopez who pretended to be scared when the rookie shouted in excitement created for a funny moment, what's been most impressive about Martin's weeklong stint as a starter is his 3-point shooting.
