I haven't paid that much attention outside of the Cavs, but the majority opinion seems to be:

Lillard
Waiters
Beal

Outside of those 3, I don't follow enough. Just curious on how everyone thinks the rookie class will progress and be a factor in the coming years.

As the obvious #1 pick, he's just been "meh" to me.

Here come the Pelicans

Really? I was under the impression he's been pretty good this year. I haven't really followed him closely, though.

Davis - Just all around very good.
Lillard - Having the best season.
Drummond - Amazing rebounder and solid on defense.
Beal - Had a woeful start but has played much better after Wall's return.
Waiters - Not a big fan, but has been productive and February was his best month.
Kidd-Gilchrist - More efficient on offense than I expected.
Valancuinas - Expected better offensive output, but still a good rebounder and shot blocker.
Nicholson - Has gone from solid, productive reserve to solid, productive starter.
Harkless - As far as I know, he is the only rookie that has a horrible rap song named after him. LINK
Roberts - Been a bit up and down, but a solid 3pt shooter.

Beal and Waiters both had really good Feb but struggled early in the year. Lillard is having the best year but he's also three years older than most of the rookies and is playing the most minutes. Davis and Drummond have the best PER's but they play the least and have both had injury problems.

This year it probably goes:
Lillard
Drummon
Davis
Beal
Waiters

but long term Drummond and Davis will be the best players from this class barring major injury
