Early next week, Rookies of the Month for March will be handed out. It is possible that Anthony Davis could end Damian Lillard’s stranglehold on the Western Conference honor, while the East will be a toss-up between Moe Harkless and Jonas Valanciunas.
Davis, Harkless and Valanciunas have yet to win the award. But as we approach the season’s final month, it is the time where many previously unheralded rookies make a name for themselves.
Last year, Atlanta’s Ivan Johnson broke through in the East as Kyrie Irving spent most of April on the sidelines. Ditto Denver’s Kenneth Faried after Ricky Rubio and Isaiah Thomas shared the first three West awards.

While acquiring Rudy Gay was a highly debated topic for many front offices around the league, his rejuvenated game has been paying immediate dividends for the Toronto Raptors.

Tweet of the Night goes to Kendall Marshall – the 13th overall pick in the draft and the newest member of the Phoenix Suns – who shares a video of his first day with his first professional team. He may not have enjoyed getting attacked by the heat when he landed in Phoenix, but certainly seems to have enjoyed the events throughout the day and appears to be a humble and genuine character. If you’d like to know more about the talented point guard with the vision, check this video for a comprehensive breakdown that compares him to Andre Miller as a best case scenario and Jose Calderon as a worst case scenario.
