Favorites to Win NBA Rookie of the Year
Alexandre Sarr, Washington Wizards (+350)
Alexandre Sarr, despite not being the No. 1 pick, finds himself in a favorable situation with the Washington Wizards.
Unlike competing for minutes in Atlanta, Sarr will get substantial playing time in Washington, a team focused on development.
His two-way potential will be tested as he gets the opportunity to showcase his skills, including handling, finishing, shooting, and defensive prowess.
Zaccharie Risacher, Atlanta Hawks (+450)
Zaccharie Risacher, the No. 1 pick, joins the Atlanta Hawks, a team with recent playoff ambitions.
His versatile skills in shooting, length, and defense make him an ideal fit. However, Atlanta’s roster uncertainties may affect his role. Nevertheless, the Hawks selected him for immediate impact, not to warm the bench.
Stephon Castle, San Antonio Spurs (+700)
Stephon Castle transitions from college to the Spurs, playing alongside Victor Wembanyama.
With no long-term starters at PG, Castle is set to secure the spot, benefiting from Wembanyama’s presence and gaining early media attention.
On the Move: Zach Edey, Memphis Grizzlies (+1,100)
Zach Edey, a two-time NCAA Player of the Year, sees a rise in his odds after being drafted by the Memphis Grizzlies.
Initially met with skepticism about fitting into the NBA’s space-and-pace game, Edey impressed during workouts. He joins a Grizzlies team aiming for immediate contention, making his transition crucial.
Bronny James ROY Odds
Bronny James, drafted 55th, generates significant interest due to his partnership with his father, LeBron James, on the Lakers. Despite long odds (+30,000), public fascination ensures notable betting activity.
These are the NBA ROY odds for the 2025 season as at the 1st July 2024. This table will not be updated.
