Josh Giddey of the Oklahoma City Thunder is having one of those rookie seasons that could go down in the record books.
The Australian talent has a record of 12.5 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 6.4 assists per game so far this year.
Earlier this season, he became the youngest player in NBA history to secure a triple-double, just one sign of how terrific the young player is doing.

And now another honor is added to his collection: Giddey was named Western Conference Rookie of the Month for the fourth straight time this season.
In such a crowded, talented rookie class, Giddey has consistently shined bright.
Rookies Of The Year
Giddey is one of many great talents to land in the NBA this year.
Other notable names who are in contention for Rookie of the Year include Evan Mobley, Cade Cunningham, Scottie Barnes, and more.
It’s been a long time since so many great newcomers were in contention for ROY.
Giddey has been among the best of the best and has at times left the rest of his competition in the dust.
In the month of February, Giddey led all rookies in rebounds (8.7) and assists (7.7) while also averaging 16.3 points per game.
He also started the month by scoring a career-high 24 points, then broke that record a few days later with a 28-point showing against the New York Knicks.
By claiming his fourth Rookie of the Month award, Giddey now joins the company of other NBA greats such as LeBron James, Chris Paul, Carmelo Anthony, Luka Doncic, and more.
In the next few weeks, the selection of Rookie of the Year will be made – if Giddey keeps playing as he has been, he might end up being the one to beat.
