With outstanding rookies like John Wall and DeMarcus from Cousins Kentucky; Dominique Jones from South Florida and Derrick Caracter from Texas, the NBA rookie ladder this year is up and down. The rookie ladder is a free-flowing, constantly updated chart that ranks the 2010-11 rookie class. If a rookie plays well he climbs; he plays poorly or if his game is weak, he hits the skids, sliding down a rung or two or three. The listing of the top ten rookies changes after every game. On day seven of summer league play in Las Vegas, Dominique Jones held his on against number one draft pick John Wall. Jones was taken by Memphis with the 25th pick, and then traded to Dallas. He went 9-for-17, scoring 28 points, grabbing four rebounds and dishing out four assists.

The Wizards got the win 88-82; John Wall scored 21 points and handed out 10 assists. Wall did it by just shooting 4-for-19, thanks in large part to the pressure defense from Jones. DeMarcus Cousins takes over the top spot after a big show in the Kings 79-78 win over the ‘Wolves. Cousins had 22 points, 12 rebounds and 5 assists; scoring the game winning hook with only 2.9 ticks left on the clock. Cousins have been a beast and looks like a real threat in the race for Rookie of the Year. Texas stand out Derrick Caracter, now with the World Champion L. A. Lakers, finished off his impressive summer league play with 10 points and 6 rebounds in an 80-71 loss to the Spurs. L.A. finished 0-5 in Sin City, but Caracter may have earned a long look from the Lakers brass with his size, aggressiveness and array of low-post moves.
