Speaking with BBC, Mo Mooncey, an astute NBA analyst, highlighted that such agility in a player of his stature is unprecedented. He further opined that the San Antonio Spurs may not be on the cusp of a monumental season, but it promises to be a remarkable year for the 19-year-old prodigy.

Chet Holmgren - Oklahoma City Thunder

Chet Holmgren, the second overall pick in the 2021 draft, was unfortunately sidelined due to a foot injury in the previous season. However, according to former NBA champion and ESPN analyst Richard Jefferson, Holmgren is poised to outshine Wembanyama and clinch the prestigious Rookie of the Year accolade.
