NBA Rookie Power Rankings: Ausar Thompson falls, familiar face takes his place

4. Jaime Jaquez Jr.

Last week's rank: 3

Jaquez Jr. drops one spot in this week's list.

Jaime Jaquez Jr. has continued to surprise the NBA world with his spectacular play. Some have considered him for Rookie of the Year and Six Man of The Year awards just a month and a half into the season. If he were to go on and win both awards, he would be the first to do so.

Jaquez Jr. has emerged as one of the Heats' best players, and when on the court, he gives them something different every time. Jaquez Jr.'s frame and speed are unmatched as he goes virtually untouched at the rim every time.

Jaquez Jr. has shown the ability to be an amazing off-ball cutter, as he's made multiple defenders look silly on backdoor cuts to the rim. He's also flashed a mid-range game that could prove lethal for opposing teams.

In Jaquez Jr.'s most recent outing, he scored 22 points and had four dimes. Despite dropping 22, the Heat would still lose, but this is just one instance of Jaquez Jr.'s scoring capabilities. He's already had multiple 20-point games, and it's a large part of his ability to stay open.

Jaquez Jr. will need to have another strong week if he wishes to get back inside the top three.
