The NBA Rookie of the Year odds and statistical props for the incoming batch of rookies for the 2018-2019 season have been released. Before you read them, who is your guess for which first-year player is the favorite to do the best next year?
Give it some thought. I’ll wait.
Is it going to be this guy, top pick DeAndre Ayton?

What about that star of the future at the top of the page? The number two pick in the NBA Draft, Marvin Bagley III?
If you chose him, give yourself a cookie because that’s who our pals over at BetDSI Sportsbook think will win the 2018-2019 NBA Rookie of the Year, giving Bagley +150 odds.
After him they have Trae Young with the second-lowest odds at +200, and the number one overall pick, DeAndre Ayton, in third with +450 odds.
