Victor Wembanyama wins by a landslide

Out of the top three rookies, it may be safe to say that Victor Wembanayama may have had the best rookie debut. His presence was felt all over the court in the limited minutes he played for the team.

That leaves us with Scoot Henderson. Henderson had been playing in the G-League for a while. So, for him to get accustomed to the NBA should not have taken long. Fortunately, this was only the first game of the season.
