Official announcement! The best rookie of the year was released, the No. 1 pick was not selected without any suspense, and the literary class won a golden partner

NBA playoffs are in full swing, and major regular season awards are being announced one after another. Before that, Celtic defender Prichard won the sixth man, Knicks defender won the Key Player of the Year Award, Cavaliers center won the Defensive Player of the Year, and Warriors defender Curry was elected the Teammate of the Year. According to the NBA's arrangements, the regular season award to be announced today is Rookie of the Year. According to previous reports, Spurs No. 4 pick Castle, Hawks No. 1 pick Rissache and Grizzlies No. 9 pick Wells are the three ultimate candidates for the award. So, who can be the final winner of this award?

According to official news from the NBA, the Spurs' Castle won the NBA Rookie of the Year in the 2022-23 season. Subsequently, the NBA officially updated the specific voting situation of the three best rookie candidates, as follows: Castle won 92 first votes, 7 second votes and 1 third vote, with a total score of 482 points; Rissache won 5 first votes, 64 second votes and 28 third votes, with a total score of 245 points; Wells won 3 first votes, 23 second votes and 39 third votes, with a total score of 123 points. It is not difficult to see from the second round pick Wells who can get so many votes that the 2024 draft is worthy of being a historically-level young year. But then again, Castle was able to defeat the No. 1 pick with such a big advantage to win the newcomer king, which seemed incredible, but in fact it was in line with expectations!

This season, the No. 1 pick played 75 games for the Hawks, averaging 24 minutes per game, averaging 12.6 points + 3.6 rebounds + 1.2 assists + 1.6 three-pointers, with a three-point shooting percentage of 35.5%. Among them, on November 7, Rissache scored 33 points + 7 rebounds + 3 assists; on February 2, Rissache scored 30 points; on March 31, Rissache scored 36 points + 6 rebounds; on April 11, Rissache scored 38 points! Rissache performed in March crazy after a slow start, but he was completely invisible in the play-offs. He has a high talent and the lower limit makes people feel unsure. Whether it can be regarded as the long-term cornerstone of the team remains to be further observed.

The No. 1 pick was not selected as the best rookie of the year without any suspense. If you want to blame, Cassel seized the opportunity of Vampanyama and Fox being reimbursed in turn for the season. There was also a mentor like Paul who taught by words and deeds, and it was out of control! This season, Castle played 81 games for the Spurs (47 starts), averaging 14.7 points (1st rookie) + 3.7 rebounds + 4.1 assists (4th rookie) + 1.2 three-pointers per game. Castle has outstanding physical fitness, excellent assault ability, and better sharing balls. If he can practice stable mid- and long shots, he will definitely have a bright future.

Castle was elected Rookie of the Year, and he became the fourth best rookie in the Spurs history. The top three are David Robinson, Duncan and Vinban Yama. This is also the two consecutive years in the Spurs history that brought the Best Rookie Trophy back to the Holy City! Wenban Yama updated the social media as soon as possible to congratulate Casel. He wrote: Hard work, enthusiasm and pure talent, you showed why you deserve this title throughout the season and felt extremely proud of you. Congratulations to Castle, and congratulations to Vinban Yama on his golden partner, hoping that they can lead the Spurs to continue their glory like David Robinson and Duncan! Fans, what do you think about this? Let me leave me a comment and discuss it.
