So far this season, the San Antonio Spurs have struggled. They’ve been the worst teams in the Western Conference for almost the entire season, but that’s okay. And it’s okay because they have a clear-cut future centerpiece. Victor Wembanyama has been absolutely amazing this season and should be the face of the Spurs organization for years to come.
Wembanyama is already one of the best defensive players in the NBA, and his offensive skillset is impressive as well. He’s been so great that folks around the league have begun talking about him as a candidate for multiple NBA awards by season’s end.
NBA Hall-of-Famer Paul Pierce recently discussed whether or not Wembanyama could win Rookie of the Year and/or Defensive Player of the Year, and the CLAN the SPURS fan YouTube channel reacted to it.
It seems unlikely that Wembanyama will win DPOY, but he has a real shot at winning ROTY.
