Last night, the Spurs beat the Knicks 130-126 in overtime in San Antonio (Jalen Brunson also had 61 👀). In the game, rookie sensation Victor Wembanyama (Wemby) finished with 40 points, 20 rebounds, and 7 assists. He became the first rookie since Shaq in 1993 to record a 40-20 game.

Wembanyama is the favorite to win Rookie of the Year honors this year.

Which rookie is the current favorite to place 2nd for the award behind Wemby?
