Holmgren is already the favorite to win Rookie of the Year over Wenbanyama.
The 2023-24 NBA season has delivered one of the most interesting battles for Rookie of the Year in memory, both in terms of impact and predictions from those involved. Chet Holmgren and Victor Wembaneyama are destined to be big stars in the NBA, and it should come as no surprise that they are heavy favorites to win Rookie of the Year.
With Scoot Henderson sidelined and the other candidates (Miller, Thompson, or the unlikely Lively) far from the level of the two unicorns, the race for ROY is a 20/50 split…and There was a surprise. The NBA has updated its classification, with the Thunder taking the number one spot from the Spurs.
As the NBA itself explains, team performance is the determining factor in classification changes. Holmgren and Wenby are both leaders on their teams and have similar stats, but while the Thunder are one of the teams to watch in the Western Conference, the Spurs are already thinking about next season and maybe even already. He seems to be thinking about one player, the No. 1 draft pick.
