Wembanyama, the "super champion" of the Spurs, completely subverted everyone's impression of Changren, with both height and dexterity, as well as amazing defensive ability, he was unanimously awarded the NBA Rookie of the Year this season, and at the age of 20, he broke a number of records, and even the king James called him "alien".
Wembanyama received all 99 No. 1 votes and scored a total of 495 points, beating the Thunder's 2022 Holmgren 295 points and the Hornets' 2023 Miller 88 points, becoming the sixth unanimous rookie king in history after Sampson in 1984, Robinson in 1990, Griffin in 2011, Lillard in 2013 and Towns in 2016, and is expected to compete for Defensive Player of the Year.
The 20-year-old Wembanyama has become the league's new generation of "highlight machine", with a huge height advantage, he can often make fancy dribbling moves on the court, long-range three-point is also easy, and his average of 3.6 blocks per game is even more proud of the league.
Wembanyama played James at the end of February this year, at the age of 20 years and 50 days, he became the youngest player in NBA history to achieve 5×5 all-around statistics (points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks at least 5). After the game, Zhan Huang exclaimed, this kid is so special!
His French predecessor Batum recently warned everyone, "The most terrible thing is that this may be the worst Wembanyama we will see in the next 15 years"
Wembanyama averaged 21.4 points, 10.6 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 3.6 blocks and 1.2 steals per game this season, becoming the first player in history to score at least 1,500 points, 250 assists and make 100 three-pointers in a single season.
He is the first rookie to average 20 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks per game since the 1973-74 season has official block statistics, and has scored 1,522 points, 755 rebounds, 274 assists, 254 blocks and 128 three-pointers in his career so far, and is the only player in NBA history to score at least 1,500 points, 250 blocks and 100 three-pointers in a single season.
He is also the fourth player in history to score at least 1,500 points, 250 assists and 250 blocks in a single season, the other three being Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Olajuwon and Robinson, the first player to do so without a rookie before him.
The only downside is that Spurs have not had a good record this year, sitting in the bottom of the league, and Spurs are not in a hurry, they are confident in Wembanyama's future.
