NBA 2019-20: Rookie of the Year Power Rankings Week 7

#4 Tyler Herro - Miami Heat

Tyler Herro looks destined to develop into one of the NBA's best three-point shooters

Tyler Herro finished Week 6 with arguably his worst performance of the season for the Miami Heat as he recorded just 4 points in 21 minutes against the Brooklyn Nets. However, the 19-year-old had averaged 21 points over his previous four appearances - including 22 points against the Houston Rockets - and the Miami star is currently shooting at over 40 percent from three-point range.

Despite starting just 3 times this season, Herro is among the rookie leaders in points per game (14.4), and the shooting guard is also averaging 4.1 rebounds and 2.1 assists. Herro will be hoping to break into Erik Spoelstra's starting lineup as quickly as possible, although he is currently averaging almost 30 minutes per contest and should be able to stay in the Rookie of the Year race even if he fails to establish himself as a starter.

#3 Kendrick Nunn - Miami Heat

Kendrick Nunn has been among the seasons biggest surprises.

Kendrick Nunn will be almost 25 by the end of the 2019-20 regular season, although the Chicago native is well in contention to be named Rookie of the Year. Nunn didn't have a particularly good Week 6 as he struggled on the offensive end, although through 19 appearances, he is averaging 16.1 points, 2.4 rebounds, 3.2 assists, and 1.2 steals per game.

As Miami's starting point guard, Nunn has attracted some criticism for his relatively low assists total, although Jimmy Butler has dominated the ball, and Nunn has been excellent at accommodating the four-time All-Star. The Heat face a big week with games against the Toronto Raptors and Boston Celtics, and Nunn will be under plenty of pressure to perform after last week declaring himself as the player who should be named 2020 Rookie of the Year.
