ESPN panel picks Thunder’s Chet Holmgren to win Rookie of the Year

San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama is the early favorite to win NBA Rookie of the Year but the No. 1 pick will have some competition for the award.

With the start of training camp still over a month away, ESPN has been publishing predictions for the upcoming season. Their analysts and reporters have touched on a variety of topics and awards thus far, including Rookie of the Year.

In addition to Wembanyama, there are other players who seemingly have a strong chance to win the award, including Oklahoma City Thunder forward Chet Holmgren, Charlotte Hornets forward Brandon Miller and Portland Trail Blazers guard Scoot Henderson among others.
