Tre Johnson to win Rookie of the Year
“how about the rookie of the year market though Cooper Flagg is obviously the odds on favorite taking him out of the equation is there a bet that interests you a guy that interests you to win rookie of the year it could be someone you've seen in summer league or something that we're about to see coming up this weekend yeah i think there's two one is a long shot and a lot of things have to go right and the blueprint for them is similar to who almost won it last year if he didn't get hurt number one for me is Tre Johnson why because the wizards are going to have a lot of potential touches for him a lot of shots that he can put up and that usage rate is going to be super high. In fact, I wouldn't lay the 190 with Cooper flag at this point, just because he's going to be getting all the blitzes and the double teams. He's going to get the best point of attack defender because Kyrie's out for pretty much most of the year, probably all of the year. And so even though he's going to be the guy with the ball in his hand, I don't know necessarily if that's going to translate into automatic buckets. And so the usage rate matters and the ability to get meaningful or meaningless buckets matters, I think, more than the record. So even though the Wizards are not going to be a very good team, I like Trey Johnson.”

VJ Edgecombe to win Rookie of the Year (+2500)
“VJ Edgecombe gives me similar situation to what we saw with Jared McCain, where he came kind of out of nowhere. You've got a team that people are watching a lot, and maybe you've got some injury concerns with Paul George and Joel Embiid, And so he gets a ton of minutes, has the ball in his hands a lot with Tyrese Maxey, add Jeremy McCain to that lineup as well. And maybe he pops off the page enough at 25 to one.”
