The 'NBA Rookies of the Year' quiz

Created on August 18, 2025  |  Total tries: 60  |  Average Score: 31.0 out of 42  (74%)  |  Quiz FAQ   

One of the most interesting matchups of the NBA’s opening week will be the clash of two of the three most recent No. 1 overall Draft picks. Cooper Flagg and the Dallas Mavericks will host Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs in Wemby’s return from the blood clot issue that cut his 2024-25 season short. Spurs fans will be especially excited to see more of the Wembanyama/De’Aaron Fox combination that resulted in 42.8 points, 15.4 rebounds and 11.2 rebounds in five games together last year, while the Mavericks will get their first exposure to the face of their future of their franchise. 

Which brings us to today’s quiz. After winning the 2023-24 Rookie of the Year, Wembanyama had even better numbers in the 46 games of his second season, averaging 24.3 points, 11 rebounds and 3.8 blocks-per-game. With that being said, can you name every NBA Rookie of the Year since the 1985-86 season?

Good luck!
