Every year, NBA.com polls rookies with questions that mostly revolve around their own draft class. While it’s pretty easy to look back at past results and see they’re very rarely accurate, it’s still notable when players get acknowledged by their peers.
The survey’s first question is who will win the Rookie of the Year award. Deandre Ayton was tied for first place with 18 percent of the vote. Surprisingly, the player he was tied with was Collin Sexton. They each received double the votes of Luka Doncic and Kevin Knox, who were tied for third.
