The NBA Rookies 2014 are led by Jabari Parker and Andrew Wiggins. It's a safe bet that one of them will become the Rookie of the Year unless there's an injury. They faced off at Summer League a couple of days ago.

SB Nation recounts that encounter: 

"After Andrew Wiggins and Jabari Parker went back-to-back at the top of this year's NBA Draft, the focus shifted to their first Summer League matchup. The hype around each player has been growing since they were in grade school. Meetings as high-schoolers and college players only added more excitement. It was only fitting that their first professional experience would see them cross paths once again, and it's no surprise that there was significant enthusiasm surrounding the game."

This is not an official game yet, but fans are excited nonetheless. 

"The players appeared to be just as excited as the rest of the people in the arena, even as both teams got out to sluggish starts. Wiggins made an early jumper and Parker got a few early trips to the free throw line, but the first quarter consisted of more blunders than buckets, save for one impressive dunk from Anthony Bennett. Thankfully the break in between quarters arrived, and it proved to be necessary for everyone in the gym. The players had a chance to get their feet wet a little bit, and the fans were awarded the chance to cool off by exhaling for the first time since the tip."

NBA Summer League is meant to be a chance to practice and also to test the rosters. It's also a tryout for unsigned free agents and undrafted rookies. While Wiggins and Parker are signed already, they still have something to prove. Eventually, they gave the crowd what they were looking for: 

"The crowd was rewarded about midway through the second quarter when the Cavs started to look for Wiggins on some dangerous cuts that came close to blowing the roof off of the arena. On the other end of the floor, Jabari used his strength and skill to carve his way through the lane for two impressive finishes through contact, including one dance around defenders that resulted in a pretty left-handed finger roll. These weren't necessarily plays that stopped time and understanding in their tracks, but it definitely captured the attention of the anxious onlookers who were waiting for something to celebrate. Everyone was looking for a glimpse or two of what made these guys so special, and bit by bit they were starting to deliver."

The first meeting may anti-climactic but they will both play in the Central Division (four times this season). The only caveat is that Andrew Wiggins will have LeBron James in his corner while Parker has OJ Mayo. 

This may swing the Rookie of the Year award in Parker's favor, but the pressure will be with him on Day One.
