Rookie ladder? Got it.

Sophomore ladder? Got it.

How about updates and progress reports for third-year players, including Kristaps Porzingis, Nikola Jokic, Karl-Anthony Towns, Devin Booker, Myles Turner, Kelly Oubre Jr., Rondae Hollis-Jefferson and many more? We have that, too.

What about a deep dive into fourth-year players like Aaron Gordon, Clint Capela, Andrew Wiggins and Julius Randle? You better believe it. Does this include projected contract values for upcoming free agents, both restricted and unrestricted, in this class? It sure does. Even under-the-radar studs like Kyle Anderson, Spencer Dinwiddie, Doug McDermott and, yes, Joe Harris? You better believe it.

From disappointments, to dominant developments, to out-of-left-field standouts, to just plain intriguing career arcs and contract situations, we have everything you could ever ask for on the NBA’s crop of up-and-comers.
