Many believe that a player’s journey is over when he reaches the NBA.
However, that’s only the start of the true journey of a player, as the entire world has its eyes on rookies who play at an elite level.
During the 2023-24 NBA season, the two rookies that have caught the eye of most fans are Victor Wembanyama and Chet Holmgren.
Wembanyama was always expected to dominate during his rookie year, as he was touted as an even better prospect than LeBron James by many.
Holmgren, on the other hand, was expected to average numbers, but he has surpassed those expectations so far.
Both rookies are dominating the NBA like no other player this season, as revealed via StatMuse on Twitter.
