The 2023-24 NBA regular season is quickly approaching its end, with the rookie of the year race heating up. Victor Wembanyama, the No. 1 overall pick, is currently the frontrunner for the award. He is on track to become the first rookie to lead the league in blocks since Manute Bol in 1985-86. Wembanyama is also nearing the 65-game minimum required for consideration for All-NBA and All-Defensive teams.
Chet Holmgren, the No. 2 overall pick, has been a consistent presence for the Oklahoma City Thunder this season. While he has fallen behind Wembanyama in the rookie of the year race, Holmgren's durability and impact on the team's performance have been noteworthy.
