2021 marks PressBox’s fifth annual Best Of edition celebrating the top people, performances and moments of the year.
Best Rookie Season

The Havre de Grace native was named to the second-team All-Rookie for his efforts and left more than a few NBA general managers scratching their heads and wondering how they allowed the former Kentucky guard to slip to the 25th pick of the 2020 NBA Draft.
