Victor Wembanyama opens the 2023-24 season as the Rookie of the Year favorite. Scoot Henderson and Chet Holmgren are essentially tied for second.
I think there could be some Henderson value depending on where he goes, but the odds aren’t long enough to bet against Victor yet. pic.twitter.com/fOppRyDGxY – 3:01 PM

More on this storyline
Wembanyama, the presumed No. 1 pick in the NBA draft on June 22, kicked off the 2023 Pro A Finals with a dud of a performance in No. 2 seed Boulogne-Levallois Metropolitans 92’s 87–64 Game 1 loss to top-seeded Monaco. In his 27 minutes of action, Wembanyama recorded just eight points on 3-of-8 shooting, seven rebounds and two assists while adding another highlight-worthy blocked shot. -via Sports Illustrated / June 11, 2023
Even Zubac has a certain level of expectation for Wembanyama and cannot wait to see him playing in the league. “Oh yeah, I mean, you see all these videos and highlights, it’s incredible. A guy with that kind of size and mobility, it’s really rare to witness something like that,” Zubac told BasketNews. “We probably never saw a player like him so far. He’s probably gonna be the No. 1 pick and will be coached by one of the best coaches ever, Gregg Popovich. He’s gonna play a lot of minutes for a great organization like the Spurs. I definitely have high expectations for him, but I believe he’s gonna be in a perfect position to develop and show that he can be one of the best players,” Zubac added. -via BasketNews / June 10, 2023
Damian Lillard on the sense of entitlement of players within the NBA… “I would say entitled is the right word. But I don’t think it’s necessarily [the players’] fault alone. It’s the culture that’s being created…We talk about Victor Wembanyama like he’s the greatest prospect ever across sports. It’s like, okay, when he comes in, what do you think he’s going to expect? Whether he believes it or not, this is what everybody is saying he is before he even touches the floor. You don’t have a choice. He’s the guy. He’s a franchise player…It takes away that fight that you got to have to earn your stripes and earn what’s given to you. When you don’t have to go through that process, it ends up kind of hurting some people because then you just expect things to happen.” -via YouTube / June 7, 2023
