Victor Wembanyama, the 19-year-old from France, was one of the most hyped-up draft prospects since Lebron James and was selected first overall in this year's draft. He is also one of the tallest players ever with a height of 7'4. Chet Holmgren was drafted second overall in last year's draft, but he was injured all of that season so he is a rookie this year. He is slightly shorter but still very tall with a height of 7'1.
As expected, Victor Wembanyama and Chet Holmgreen are the 2 most impressive rookies right now.
Obviously, it is still very early in their careers (each only playing 9 games), but so far this season they are both playing very well.
So far this season Wembanyama is averaging:
19.9 Points
8.6 Rebounds
2.6 Blocks
2.0 Assists
46% of shots made
Chet Holmgren is averaging:
16.2 Points
7.8 Rebounds
2.4 Assists
2.3 Blocks
55.4% of shots made
Right now it is looking like one of these 2 players will win Rookie of The Year, so it will be exciting to watch both players compete and see who ends up performing better this year.
(Both of their next games are this Sunday 11/12)
