Maxime Raynaud has been named Western Conference Rookie of the Month for the month of March.

Last month, he averaged 17.9 points on 59% from the field and 8.5 rebounds in 33 minutes per games. In his 15 games, he recorded two 30-point games and six games with 20+ points.

Raynaud was drafted 42nd overall in the 2025 NBA Draft.

On the season, he is averaging 11.9 points and 7.3 rebounds. He is shooting 56% from the field.

The rookie has been fun to watch and one of the very few positive things this season. Which, by the way, ends on April 12.
