NBA Rookie Rankings: Chuma Okeke shines for the Magic; Anthony Edwards comes up clutch for the Timberwolves

Also, Patrick Williams had a ridiculous block and Jaden McDaniels is getting some attention

The NBA trade deadline caused some shake-ups on several rosters around the league, as a number of contenders added and subtracted to improve in time for the playoffs, and lottery-bound squads sold off assets to prepare for the future. While no rookies were traded last Thursday, there were several around the league who benefited from the moves made by their teams. Chuma Okeke is a prime example of that this week, but more on that later. We're inching closer toward the finish line of the regular season, and some rookies have started to hit their strides with more opportunities, while others are just getting more comfortable at the pro level.  Now moving on to this week's rookie rankings. These rankings will reflect a rookie's performance on a week-to-week basis only, not the collective season, so these aren't Rookie of the Year standings. With that straightened out, here is a look at the top rookies this week. Edwards was just named Rookie of the Month for his monster performance throughout March where he put up a career-high 42 points in one game. He's really come alive on offense for the Timberwolves since the All-Star break, and he continued that hot streak by scoring 20-plus points in three of his four games this week. Against the Knicks, he showed how clutch he can be by scoring 12 of his 24 points in the fourth quarter to lead the Wolves to a comeback win.
