NBA Rookie Survey 2019: Zion Williamson, Ja Morant Favorites for Rookie of the Year

Zion Williamson and Ja Morant are the two favorites to win this year's Rookie of the Year award, according to NBA.com's 2019 Rookie Survey.

The results, which were released on Monday, had 62% of voters choosing either Williamson or Morant to win a rookie's highest honor. Williamson led with 35% of the votes, while Morant had 27%. R.J. Barrett and Cam Reddish came in third place with 5% of the vote.

While Williamson is an unsurprising pick, the top vote-getter has gone to win the Rookie of the Year award just once in the last 10 years of the survey.
