Victor Wembanyama has enjoyed a strong rookie season, establishing himself as one of the best young players in the NBA. The 7’4” French phenom’s defense specifically has caught the eyes of observers, as some believe the San Antonio Spurs big man should be in the running for Defensive Player of the Year.
Wembanyama currently leads the league with 3.4 blocks per game and is tied for 12th with 1.3 steals a game, and his eight-foot wingspan creates all kinds of havoc for opposing offenses.
But not everyone believes Wembanyama should be considered for the DPOY award. Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green, who won the award in 2016-17, doesn’t think the Spurs’ defense is good enough to consider Wembanyama for DPOY yet.
