Both Victor Wembanyama and Chet Holmgren are in contention for Rookie of the Year honors

Such has been their impact on their respective teams that both Victor Wembanyama and Chet Holmgren are in contention to win Rookie of the Year. Wembanyama, the No. 1 pick of the 2023 NBA draft, and Holmgren, the No. 2 pick of the 2022 NBA draft have been two names constantly doing the rounds.

According to BetMGM, the 7-foot-4 center has been a force on the defensive end and is listed as +750 following his impressive run this season.

Holmgren comes in at +500 as he averages 17.1 ppg, but leads the team in 7.8 rpg and 2.7 bpg. Meanwhile, the Spurs rookie is averaging 20.6 points and 10.2 rebounds. Charlotte Hornets and Portland Trail Blazers rookies Brandon Miller and Scoot Henderson are third and fourth in the ladder, respectively.

While Wembanyama is a cinch to win ROTY, Holmgren and the Thunder (41-17) have enjoyed a better run this season. The loss doesn't hurt them as they remain second in the Western Conference standings and will be making the postseason this year.

The Spurs (12-48) find themselves at the bottom of the same conference with the second-worst record after the Detroit Pistons (9-49) and Washington Wizards (9-49).
