Chet Holmgren's impressive rookie season has been rivaled by No. 1 pick Victor Wembanyama, but following Wembanyama's injury last week, the 2022 No. 2 overall pick has taken a stranglehold on the Rookie of the Year market.
Holmgren has been a star for the Oklahoma City Thunder, who are third in the Western Conference at 18-9. After missing all of his actual rookie year due to a foot injury, Holmgren has looked like a future superstar on both ends.
Holmgren is averaging north of 17 points per game with eight rebounds and almost three blocks per game this season while shooting 37% from the beyond the arc.
