00:00 Victor Wembenyama is the overwhelming favorite to win rookie of the year, but a new rule
00:04 might prevent the Spurs rookie from delivering on those odds.
00:07 65 games is the new minimum requirement for players to be eligible for postseason awards,
00:13 and there's certainly a chance the Spurs 7-4 phenom does not hit that threshold.
00:18 The Spurs are expected to be one of the worst teams once again in the NBA this season, and
00:22 the long-term health of their future superstar is certainly worth more than they can run
00:27 at the play-in tournament this year, which is why you might be better off betting on
00:30 a player with longer odds such as the Thunders Chet Holmgren, who's expected to play a
00:35 key role on a team that could make some noise.
00:38 Wemby's stats are sure to wow, but the 65 game requirement and those prohibitive odds
00:43 might make you look elsewhere in the betting market.
