Paolo Bansero, main candidate
NBA Entertainment
the battle between Paolo Banchero and Chet Holmgren It aimed to be extremely interesting in the 2022-2023 season. The first two chooses of the last Draft, in a similar position of court though two very different physical originals. The loss of the player OK C has thinned the Rookie of the Year race somewhat in favor of the Orlando Magic star.
Banchero has more than just being a #1 Draft pick because he has a physical arsenal and athletic ability that will allow him to put up great numbers from day one in the NBA. Also, Orlando has a team that could maximize the former Duke’s strengths.
If all that wasn’t enough, being a wide four would greatly favor his candidacy by focusing his efforts on production in the paint and execution from long range.
Keegan Murray, the alternative
NBA Entertainment
The Kings were one of the teams that surprised the most on Draft night with his selection Kegan Murray. The Iowa-trained forward has proven in his short time in the league that he can be successful.
In fact, he was crowned Summer League MVP thanks to 23.3 points, 7.3 rebounds and 50% shooting from the field, some more than remarkable numbers that warrant Sacramento’s bet.
Murray is Bansereau’s main alternative due to his accuracy, efficiency and scoring ability a very different profile than the Orlando Magic. Draft #4 linked 40% off the triple jump in the summer championship with 8.8 attempts per night, something to remember in the Regular Phase.
Having Domantas Sabonis and De’Aaron Fox Murray next to him could contribute without having to get a lot of usage.
Jabari Smith and Jaden Ivey’s picks

Outside of Banchero and Murray, there appears to be little room for another strong Rookie of the Year candidate. Nevertheless, two names stand out above the rest, such as e.g Smith and Ivey, picks #3 and #5 in the last Draft.
With Jabari Smith there are many doubts, despite his high pick. No one doubts that his player Houston Rockets It has a very high ceiling, but its present causes more uncertainty due to it being somewhat green. An example of this was his performance in the Summer League, where he won one 37.7% from the field and 14.4 points.
Opposite case with Jaden Ivey, the prototype of what is considered NBA ready. He is a quick and decisive secondary operator, who can shine and leave great moments with Cade Cunningham as well as images to remember. The guards They usually have a very different first year in the league, but when someone of Ivey’s profile comes along, it usually leaves no one indifferent.
