Each week NBAtoday.net compiles a list of the top 10 rookies in the NBA. Leave a comment on your top rookies of the 2009-2010 season!

David Anderson dropped from this week’s rankings and Tyler Hansbrough is moving on up folks!

Added to the rankings: DeJaun Blair
Dropped from the rankings: David Anderson

1. Tyreke Evans – Over his last 3 games Evans has averaged over 44 mpg; I hope he doesn’t he that wall because he is fun to watch.
2. Brandon Jennings – Last week Jennings called his 55 point game “a curse” because everyone expects him to drop 30 a game now.  He’s just trying to help his team win, and they aren’t.
3. Stephen Curry –Curry had a 0 point game last week because he only played 11 minutes due to foul trouble but rebounded the next night with 15 points.
4. James Harden – Harden was 0-10 from the field vs. the Nets this week but still impressed me; I just like this kid’s game.
5. Taj Gibson – It will be interesting to see where Gibson ends up on the list next week with Tyrus Thomas back and stealing some minutes away.
6. Tyler Hansbrough –Hansbrough has recorded 2 straight double-doubles and with Murphy out he may slide into the starting PF role for Indiana.
7. Jonny Flynn – In 3 games last week, Flynn had 13 assists and just 5 turnovers which resulted in 2 wins.
8. Omri Casspi – Last week in 3 games, Casspi averaged 14.5 ppg and 7 rpg but the Kings managed to win just 1 of those games.
9. Jonas Jerebko – Jerebko is basically the lone inside threat the Pistons have, that being the case the Pistons are in trouble.
10. DuJuan Blair – In a 3 win week Blair stepped up his rebounding game averaging 9.33 rpg.

    Basher I agree with Harden, he struggle from the field but in the second half it seemed like every long rebound off of a Thunder shot he chased down to give them an extra possession.

    Look for Casspi to jump even higher with Evans out.
