Victor Wembanyama was therefore named “Rookie of the Year, ahead of Chet Holmgren and Brandon Miller. And the Frenchman did so by winning all the votes since he was unanimously designated “ROY”!
It must be said that with his 21.4 points, 10.6 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 3.6 blocks (NBA leader) and 1.2 interceptions on average, 47% shooting, 33% 3-pointers and 80% free throws, he hit hard.
“Wemby” was however surrounded by monumental “hype” when joining the Great League, but he managed to respond to it, and even surpass it in certain aspects. Enough to allow beIN Sports to compile a pretty crazy Top 20 to look back on this rookie season like no other. With blocks, dunks and everything in between.
