I honestly don't find the performance of the top 10 players of this draft impressive. Risacher, Holland II, Dillingham, and Williams are really performing well, but the rest of them are pretty mediocre in the summer league. Look at Sarr, he's performing very poorly even though he was selected with the second pick of the draft.
I guess at the early stage if we are willing to bet on the rookie of the year future we can find some value on the odds.
As you can see, it seems like the odds are just based on the raking of draft pick.
I have not actually followed the games a lot, but who do you think will win the ROY next season?
odds
Zach Edey +600
Alexandre Sarr +700
Zaccharie Risacher +800
Dalton Knecht +900
Stephon Castle +1000
Reed Sheppard +1100
Zach Edey is the only player I’ve ever heard of before the draft. I’d imagine that probably gives him an edge on things like rookie of the year betting, but it is a bit premature. I imagine once the season starts and we get a few games in, it will become clear who the best rookie in the pack is.
But if you are betting, this is the right time, as the odds are going to change or drop if a player is playing well during the regular season. Others are saying that Zach Edey isn't playing well, so this is getting unpredictable. Some might see value in this, and personally, if I believe that he will win the ROY, I would take +600 all day.
