San Antonio Spurs second-year star forward Victor Wembanyama wasted no time at all racking up accolades on arriving in the NBA. Going from a gangly rookie struggling with NBA-level defense to a legitimate Defensive Player of the Year candidate in just one season, we have learned he is no joke.

Is the NBA’s 2025 Most Improved Player Award (MIP) on the table for the French forward as well?

Take a look at the clip embedded above to hear what they had to say!
