#3 Brandon Miller

• Last week: Games played: 4 games (1 win - 3 losses)
• Season: 71
• Last week: 21.3 PPG, 4.0 RPG, 2.3 APG, 1.3 SPG and 1.3 BPG
• Season: 17.2 PPG, 4.3 RPG and 2.4 APG

The highlight of Brandon Miller’s Week 24 performance was against the Orlando Magic on Friday.

In a game that had emerging stars Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner, Miller was arguably the best player. The former Alabama star spoiled Orlando’s night by making the crucial plays in the Charlotte Hornets' surprising win. Miller deserves the No. 3 spot on the NBA Rookie of the Year ladder.

#2 Chet Holmgren

• Last week: Games played: 4 (1 win - 3 losses)
• Season: 78
• Last week: 17.0 PPG, 8.0 RPG, 2.0 BPG and 1.3 APG
• Season: 16.6 PPG, 7.9 RPG, 2.5 APG and 2.4 BPG

Chet Holmgren had bigger responsibilities in Week 24 due to Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams dealing with injuries.

While Holmgren did well, he wasn’t as effective when he had his two teammates getting the attention of the defense. The former Gonzaga superstar, though, is deserving of the No. 2 spot in the NBA Rookie of the Year weekly ranking.

#1 Victor Wembanyama

• Last week: 3 games (1 win - 2 losses)
• Season: 69
• Last week: 24.3 PPG, 15.0 RPG, 7.7 APG and 6.3 BPG
• Season: 21.3 PPG, 10.7 RPG, 3.8 APG, 3.6 BPG and 1.3 SPG

Victor Wembanyama only underlined his NBA Rookie of the Year chances with a mind-boggling Week 24.

The San Antonio Spurs played with a crippled roster, ut Spurs had a chance to go 3-0 during the games he played. No one but him had the honor of topping the list after yet another jaw-dropping stretch of games.
