At this moment, the favorite to earn this Rookie of the Year award is Miami's Kel’el Ware, who has only started in four games so far this season.

Anthony Davis recently said that there’s a narrative being pushed for Victor Wembanyama to be this year’s NBA Defensive Player of the Year. The San Antonio Spurs' star center has now responded to the controversy.

At this point, there is no Victor Wembanyama in this season's NBA rookie class. There is no Paolo Banchero. And there's no Luka Doncic, Ja Morant, Karl-Anthony Towns, Damian Lillard,

Already linked with Tim Duncan and David Robinson, Victor Wembanyama continues to entrench himself along the Spurs legends.

"It's very possible that he'll be the face of basketball. Not just NBA basketball, but world basketball," said Pacers coach Rick Carlisle.

Wembanyama is a special talent, and before the whole world knew who he was, he was a kid from Le Chesnay in the Paris region. That is where he grew to love the game of basketball. As he and his team get ready to play a two-game series in his home country against the Indiana Pacers, he was honored with a special basketball court in his hometown.

Star, Chris Paul makes a pitch to coaches about selecting Spurs teammate Victor Wembanyama for his first such honor.

With respect to Chris Paul, who has done an admirable job as a veteran leader, the Spurs don't have their point guard of the future on the roster right now. They need a young pick-and-roll scorer who can run the floor with Wembanyama. There aren't many available targets that fit better than the 27-year-old Fox.

Heat center Kel'el Ware has emerged as the front-runner to win the NBA Rookie of the Year award following a strong run of late.

Victor Wembanyama ... guy in the NBA today that works the hardest." Wemby is seemingly sticking by his statement as the star is certainly working hard after winning Rookie of the Year.

At this point, there is no Victor Wembanyama in this season's NBA rookie class. There is no Paolo Banchero. And there's no Luka Doncic, Ja Morant, Karl-Anthony Towns, Damian Lillard, Kyrie Irving, Blake Griffin,
