Victor Wembanyama opens the 2023-24 season as the Rookie of the Year favorite. Scoot Henderson and Chet Holmgren are essentially tied for second.
I think there could be some Henderson value depending on where he goes, but the odds aren’t long enough to bet against Victor yet. pic.twitter.com/fOppRyDGxY – 3:01 PM

Wembanyama, the presumed No. 1 pick in the NBA draft on June 22, kicked off the 2023 Pro A Finals with a dud of a performance in No. 2 seed Boulogne-Levallois Metropolitans 92’s 87–64 Game 1 loss to top-seeded Monaco. In his 27 minutes of action, Wembanyama recorded just eight points on 3-of-8 shooting, seven rebounds and two assists while adding another highlight-worthy blocked shot. -via Sports Illustrated / June 11, 2023
Even Zubac has a certain level of expectation for Wembanyama and cannot wait to see him playing in the league. “Oh yeah, I mean, you see all these videos and highlights, it’s incredible. A guy with that kind of size and mobility, it’s really rare to witness something like that,” Zubac told BasketNews. “We probably never saw a player like him so far. He’s probably gonna be the No. 1 pick and will be coached by one of the best coaches ever, Gregg Popovich. He’s gonna play a lot of minutes for a great organization like the Spurs. I definitely have high expectations for him, but I believe he’s gonna be in a perfect position to develop and show that he can be one of the best players,” Zubac added. -via BasketNews / June 10, 2023
