Victor Wembanyama may well win NBA Rookie of the Year, but Thunder rookie Chet Holmgren isn’t going to make the decision easy on voters.

Voters for NBA Rookie of the Year have an unenviable task: choosing between Victor Wembanyama and Chet Holmgren. Both are having spectacular rookie seasons. The good news for the Thunder, though, is that it knows better now what it has in Holmgren. The big man has been unbelievable on both ends of the court, and even though he was expected to be good, being this good on offense and defense? It’s the kind of thing that could alter the short- and long-term success of the Thunder. Berry and I discuss all of that and much more — including the NBA players whose physical stature made us sit up and take notice — on this week’s Jenni & Berry Show.
