Outside of the top few picks, it's rare for rookies to enter the NBA as starters. However, the 2015 draft class produced a handful of qualified candidates.
A number of them landed in spots with clear paths to the starting lineup.
In some cases, the prospect adds something specific that's needed in the first unit. On the other hand, there are a few rookies who went to a team that lacked depth at their particular position.
Based on individual talent, rosters and team needs, we identified eight first-year players who should either begin their careers as a starter or be a strong candidate to become one early on.
It's worth noting that we've decided Sacramento Kings center Willie Cauley-Stein would be better suited coming off the bench, with Rudy Gay and DeMarcus Cousins the potentially more effective small-ball 4-5 combo.
