Every year, NBA.com polls incoming rookies about the fellow members of their class, the veterans they admire, and what they’re most looking forward to as they begin their professional careers. And judging by their responses, this year’s group appears to think quite highly of Jahlil Okafor.

Selected third by the Sixers in this year’s draft, the 6’11” big man was considered the favorite to be selected the first-overall selection for the majority of his freshman season at Duke. And although Karl Towns and D’Angelo Russell ended up going #1 and #2, respectively, many believe that Okafor is still the top talent in this year’s class.

The 19-year-old is the favorite for Rookie of the Year according to Las Vegas oddsmakers, and the pool of 36 rookies surveyed agreed with that assertion. Okafor commanded 41.9% of the vote amongst his peers when asked who they believed would take home the honor in 2015-16, with #2 vote-getter Stanley Johnson coming in at just 19.4%. Top pick Karl Towns came in third at 12.9%, and second-overall pick D’Angelo Russell tied with Emmanuel Mudiay (#7 pick) at 9.7%.

When the rookies were asked which player they believed would have the best career in the long run, Okafor again won the plurality of the vote. The consensus First-team All-American was selected by 24.1% of his classmates, just beating out Towns (17.2%). Russell also received votes, but was not amongst the top-six finishers in that category.

Surprisingly, Okafor was also named when the rookies were asked whom they believed to be the biggest steal of the draft, despite being selected third-overall. Kristaps Porzingis, selected fourth-overall by the New York Knicks, also received votes in that category.

Among the other two players selected by the Sixers, Richaun Holmes (#37) and J.P. Tokoto (#58), only the latter received votes in any of the eight categories. The UNC product tied with Mario Hezonja and Rondae Hollis-Jefferson as the fifth-most athletic player in the incoming class.
