2026-27 NBA Rookie of the Year Winner Odds
2026-27 NBA Rookie of the Year Best Bet
Current Best Bet: Cameron Boozer (Grizzlies)
Cam Boozer is the clear best bet for Rookie of the Year right now. He’s already the odds-on favorite entering the season over names like AJ Dybantsa, Darryn Peterson, and Caleb Wilson, and he’s backing it up early with Memphis — 16.0 points, 12.0 rebounds, and 5.5 assists per game through his first two outings. That kind of all-around stat line as a true two-way rookie is exactly the profile voters gravitate toward, and if he sustains anything close to it as his minutes grow, this race could be over quickly.

2026-27 NBA Rookie of the Year Sleepers
Darius Acuff Jr. and Keaton Wagler round out our Rookie of the Year sleepers. Acuff was the No. 7 pick to a thin Sacramento backcourt and is expected to get heavy run right away, especially with Russell Westbrook’s future there uncertain — he led the SEC in both scoring (23.5 PPG) and assists (6.4 APG) in college and dropped a freshman-record 88 points through his first three NCAA Tournament games, exactly the usage-and-production profile that recent Rookie of the Year winners have shared. Wagler has been the steadier early riser for the Clippers, posting 13.0 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 4.0 assists through his first three games on 40% three-point shooting in a real 26-minute role. Neither is matching Boozer’s early stat line, but both have the opportunity and skill set to climb if their workloads keep growing.
Darius Acuff Jr. (Kings)
- Season Stats: 22.3 ppg; 2.7 rpg; 4.7 apg
Keaton Wagler (Clippers)
- Season Stats: 13 ppg; 4.3 rpg; 4 apg
