DraftKings Sportsbook released odds for the 2022-23 NBA Rookie of the Year Award on Thursday ahead of the 2022 NBA Draft, and Duke Blue Devils forward Paolo Banchero is listed as the betting favorite.

Check out the latest comprehensive and most trusted Sportsbook Reviews by SBR here.

It’s an interesting development considering DraftKings took down their odds for the first overall selection in Thursday’s draft, and prospective bettors don’t even know which teams this year’s rookie class are going to be suiting up for yet.

Sure, ESPN Senior NBA Insider Adrian Wojnarowski tweeted out who the first three picks in the draft would be – according to his sources – but is that a legitimate reason to pull the entire betting market down?

While it’s fine to speculate who will land where, handicap their probability of winning next year’s Rookie of the Year Award, and then planting an early flag, is it a smart wager considering the unknowns?
