NBA Rookie Ladder: Know Who’s Hot And Who’s Not In The 2013 Draft Class, First Pick Anthony Bennett Still Struggling To Score His First Field Goal

The season started with almost four games in and we look at the NBA rookie ladder to see who may have been a bust for their team or the best.

Number one pick Anthony Bennett may be a bust for now but we'll never know if he get's his confidence back and prove to everyone why he is the number one pick.

Bennet who was drafted by the Cavs is struggling in the NBA by missing all 15 of his field goals, eight of which is from the three-point line.

Teammates and coaches of Bennett said that the confidence of the rookie may went up to his head for him not showing what he's capable of.

''He's probably pressing to a certain degree,'' Bennett's coach Mike Brown said. ''So it's probably a little of that and a little bit of being on a big stage now in the regular season with it counting. There's probably some of where his opponents are looking at him and saying that they're going to come at him. They may not care that he's the No. 1 pick.''

''We just keep encouraging him,'' his teammate Jarrett Jack said. ''We want him to understand, 'You made it this far because you are a special player and don't ever forget that.' The one thing you do have to have in this league to be successful is confidence, and once that starts to waver, it's going to have a snowball effect.

On the other hand - Michael Carter-Wiliams. You might have heard his name a lot the past few weeks and it is because he is showing everyone in the NBA that his is the best rookie on their draft class.

MCW showcased an almost quadruple double performance on his first game on the NBA with 22 points, 12 assists, nine steals and seven rebounds which might have been the best start of a rookie in the NBA.

He avarages 20.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 7.8 assists and 3.3 steals for the first four games of his NBA career.

Vitor Faverani of the Boston Celtics might have been quiet but is averaging an impressive 9.5 points, 7.3 rebounds and 2.8 blocks a game.

Victor Oladipo of the Orlando Magic is being loud in the NBA showing off amazing dunks and showing interest in the dunk contest. He is also averaging impressive stats with 13.8 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game.
