Who has the better case for the NBA’s 2024 Rookie of the Year award — Victor Wembanyama or Chet Holmgren? The Oklahoma City Thunder big man may not be your traditional rookie after having sat out his first season injured, but has since given the San Antonio Spurs rookie forward a run for his money in the pursuit of the award.
Wemby has a host of developing players around him, but has put up solid numbers even so. Chet, on the other hand, has fit in like a hand in a glove with the Thunder. Which of the two has made a better case for the hardware given their respective situations?
Putting aside the debate of whether Holmgren is even a rookie, there is a legitimate case to be made for each.
Take a look at the clip embedded above to hear what the folks behind the “Hoop Venue” podcast had to say about the race for Rookie of the Year.
