The Wizards aren't necessarily expecting to be a playoff team this season, but they are anticipating much more competitive basketball. AJ Dybantsa is at the center of it.

The No. 1 pick in June's draft, Dybantsa is teaming up with Trae Young, Anthony Davis and more to try to turn the Wizards into a relevant team in the East again after a handful of dismal seasons.

While expectations are high for Dybantsa, he isn't the betting favorite for NBA Rookie of the Year. In fact, his placement in the odds might surprise you.

Here's what you need to know about Dybantsa's Rookie of the Year chances.

NBA Rookie of the Year odds: Where does AJ Dybantsa rank?

Dybantsa has the fourth-best odds to win Rookie of the Year on DraftKings sportsbook, as reported by NBC Sports. He trails Cameron Boozer, Caleb Wilson and Darryn Peterson.

While the favorite varies by sportsbook — Wilson is the favorite, in the eyes of BetMGM — Dybantsa is the consensus fourth in line.

The reason could be something Wizards fans accept: Dybantsa might not have as high-volume of a role as some other rookies because Washington now has so many offensive options. With plenty of depth and Young at the helm of the backcourt, the Wizards are hoping they won't have to put too much pressure on Dybantsa.

The Jazz are looking to take a similar leap with the talent they have around Peterson, but the Bulls and Grizzlies are ready to hand high-volume roles to Wilson and Boozer, respectively.

A Rookie of the Year win would be fun for Dybantsa and the Wizards, but if a more balanced approach and more competitive basketball means someone else wins out of a talented class, Washington fans would undoubtedly be willing to accept that scenario.

Last Wizard to win Rookie of the Year

No Wizards player has been named Rookie of the Year since 1969, when the team was still named the Baltimore Bullets. Wes Unseld took him those honors at the start of a Hall of Fame career.

John Wall's opportunity to win Rookie of the Year was derailed by Blake Griffin's candidacy, as Griffin, the No. 1 pick from the previous year, missed all of 2009-10 with an injury and debuted at the same time as Wall.
