The Los Angeles Lakers' first-round pick has taken the basketball world by storm, breaking the franchise's rookie scoring record for a single month with 312 points through April 15. The previous record stood since 1960.

The 19-year-old guard averaged 28.4 points over his last ten games while shooting an efficient 48 percent from the field and 39 percent from three-point range.

His emergence has reinvigorated the Lakers' playoff push and thrust him into the Rookie of the Year conversation alongside two other standout first-year players.
