Can the San Antonio Spurs’ star French forward Victor Wembanyama be the NBA’s best player in year two of his career in the league? On one hand, this is a tall order for the San Antonio big man to live up to if ever there was one. On the other, we have seen such rapid growth from Wemby that it is not an absurd question to ask, either.
After entering the Association a bit sloppy on defense, Wembanyama quickly got up to speed on the defensive end of the court, picking up All-Defensive First Team honors on the way to earning second place in the Defensive Player of the Year vote.
Did we mention he won Rookie of the Year as well? So you can see why a similar leap might actually have him in the best-player debate.
The host of the “Locked On Spurs” podcast, Jeff Garcia, sat down with KENS 5’s Casey Viera to talk it over. Check it out above!
