Averaged 3.6 blocks per game!The youngest block king in NBA history!At the age of 20 years and 102 days
On April 15, Beijing time, the NBA regular season ushered in the final game, and after a group of heroes, the top ten teams in the East and West were finally ranked! Among them, the first to tenth in the East were: Celtics, Knicks, Bucks, Cavaliers, Magic, Pacers, 76ers, Heat, Bulls, Hawks. The first to tenth places in the West are the Thunder, Nuggets, Timberwolves, Clippers, Mavericks, Suns, Pelicans, Lakers, Kings, and Warriors.
With the 2023-24 season finale coming to an end, the teams that failed to finish in the top 10 have ended all their seasons ahead of schedule, and all their prospects will be pinned on next season! Although he hasn't been able to lead the team back to the playoffs this season, the Spurs are definitely worth looking forward to next season, as Wembanyama has been a surprise in his growth and has gradually lived up to his unrivalled basketball talent and court dominance. Wembanyama will continue to evolve next season, and the Spurs will be a playoff rival in the West!
Even though the Spurs are only 22-60 and second-to-last in the West this season, it's clearly what they want. Because the main task of the Spurs this season is to focus on cultivating Wembanyama's rapid growth, his growth will be even more important than whether the Spurs can make the playoffs. It's definitely better if they make the playoffs, and it doesn't matter if they don't! You know, serious Spurs are also terrifying, as evidenced by their narrow victory over defending champions Nuggets.
This season, the Spurs can not enter the playoffs, and it is difficult to say next season, but in the future, they want more than just the playoffs! The Spurs, who have been dormant for many years, want to let Wembanyama lead the team to rebuild the dynasty and rejuvenate, so they can not make small profits now, because Popovich is actually in the next big move! Wembanyama has this strength, and he has let the Spurs see the hope and unlimited potential to rebuild their glory!
According to statistics, Wembanyama played a total of 71 regular season games in his rookie season, averaging 21.4 points, 10.6 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 3.6 blocks and 1.2 steals per game, shooting 46.5% from the field, 32.5% from three-point range, and 79.6% from the free throw line. With an average of 3.6 blocks per game, Wembanyama became the youngest block king in NBA history at the age of 20 years and 102 days.
Wembanyama officially joined the NBA's youngest all-time block king at the age of 20 years and 102 days, and such Wembanyama is truly breathtaking! It is no exaggeration to say that the Rookie of the Year award has long been in his pocket. In addition, he is even on track to win the league's best defensive player award in his rookie season! Considering that his 254 blocks in his rookie season are even more than three blocks in the past two seasons combined by Gobert of the three DPOYs, isn't Wembanyama worthy of being DPOY?
