Impressive rookie class

I just did some scanning through the box scores and league leader stats and was surprised by just how many rookie are making an early impact in the NBA. I know it is real early but reports from around the league have been extremely positive for a number of rookies and not just the big names that came out at the top of last year's draft class. Like:

Marc Gasol, Rudy Fernandez, Darrell Arthur, Luc Mbah a Moute, Mario Chalmers, Brandon Rush and others.

Here's the rookie PER from ESPN.com:

Now above 15 usually means you are a pretty good player and 20+ means you extraordinary usually top 25 player in the league. I know most if not all of these numbers are going to decline but they are impressive nonetheless.

We're on the same brain wave...Thanks again Nick...I was thinking of this last night when I saw Hibbert had had a decent game.

There are a lot of guys getting chances to play.
