As expected, Andrew Wiggins won the Rookie of the Year award, followed by Chicago’s Nikola Mirotic. It wasn’t really a close vote, with Wiggins getting 110 first place votes to Mirotic’s 14, and winning the overall race 604 points to 335.  From the NBA’s press release:

Wiggins, 20, received 110 of 130 first-place votes and 604 total points from a panel of sportswriters and broadcasters throughout the United States and Canada. The Chicago Bulls’ Nikola Mirotic finished second with 335 points (14 first-place votes), and Nerlens Noel of the Philadelphia 76ers was third with 141 points (three first-place votes).
