Wembanyama and Holmgren: A Close Race for NBA Rookie of the Year

Takeaways:

• Victor Wembanyama and Chet Holmgren are both rookies in the NBA, playing for the San Antonio Spurs and Oklahoma City Thunder respectively, and are top contenders for the Rookie of the Year Award.

• Despite Wembanyama averaging more points, rebounds, steals, and blocks, Holmgren was named the November Rookie of the Month in the Western Conference due to his better shooting numbers.

• A recent rookie ranking by Yahoo placed Holmgren first, ahead of Wembanyama, but the race for Rookie of the Year is still considered too close to call.

• Some fans argue that Holmgren should not be considered a rookie, but the Ben Simmons precedent means he is eligible for all rookie awards.
