There weren't a ton of dominant rookies this year, and the best ones won't even be in the postseason.
Andrew Wiggins is done. Nerlens Noel's season is over. Elfrid Payton has vanished until October. But we still have a group of first-year players remaining in the postseason.
It's rare that we see rookies make an impact during the playoffs. Usually, the best ones (or the highest-drafted ones) end up on subpar teams for the first year or more of their careers. And when lower-drafted ones get into April, May and June, their minutes decrease as coaches' rotations shorten.
Still, we're bound to see at least a few rookies get playing time during the postseason. Heck, some playoff teams even have young'uns in their starting lineups. There may not be many, but the ones who are still around certainly stand out.
