RJ Barrett was once ruled a bust after two Summer League games. Thankfully, that ridiculous narrative died down. In fact, the New York Knicks rookie is still considered to be one of the favorites to win Rookie of the Year next season.
Odds to win 2019-2020 NBA Rookie of the Year:
Zion -135
Morant +300
Barrett +550
Garland +1500
Porter Jr/White +1800
Hunter/Culver/Hachimura +2500
Hayes/Herro/Reddish/Kabengele +5000
Little/Johnson/Washington/Bol/Walker +10000
Doumbouya +20000
Bitadze +25000— Odds Shark (@OddsShark) July 22, 2019
Zion Williamson is the heavy favorite to win, according to Oddsharks, but Ja Morant and Barrett aren’t too far behind the No.
