In this week’s SB Nation Reacts survey, we asked if you thought Washington Wizards forward AJ Dybantsa will win the 2026-27 NBA Rookie of the Year. Our respondents were split, but a majority of 56 percent believe that Dybantsa, the No. 1 pick in the 2026 Draft, will be the Rookie of the Year when it is all said and done.
[FanDuel sportsbook](https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/nba) isn’t quite so optimistic. I couldn’t see any recent updates since we’re in the NBA’s Dog Days of Summer, but [Cam Boozer was the favorite at +300](https://www.fanduel.com/research/nba-rookie-of-the-year-odds-boozer-dybantsa-peterson-and-acuff-lead-the-pack) while Dybantsa isn’t far behind at +400.
We’re just under a couple of months away from the NBA season, so we’ll see the question get settled once and for all soon enough.
