Victor Wembanyama Can Be The FIRST ROOKIE To ACHIEVE This

- Victor Wembanyama is making a serious case for himself this season and it’s scary, but in a good way. At this point, he is probably going to win the Rookie of the Year at the end of the season, but there’s one thing that is also up for grabs and he could break history if he’s the first ever rookie to win this award. The NBA’s Defensive Player of the Year award. No rookie has ever come close to winning this no matter how good they are defensively, but could Wemby be the first to pull this off or are there other factors that will prevent him from doing so?

The DPOY selection is the one award that I find the most inscrutable and intransparent. It is not based on stats or outcome, just on a very subjective impression that a player is a good defender. Pippen never got it, which shows how patently absurd the criteria were. Mutombo got them on blocks alone while being useless outside the paint. Same with Alonzo. Never played in teams that won anything while in their prime. So what is? Steals? Blocks? Defensive efficiency measured with advanced stats? The eye test tells you that Wemby is the most impactful defender right now. As shotblocker, help defender and even on the perimeter. But his team is nevertheless terrible.
Tim Duncan never won it either which is absurd
you got it right
MVP is no different...Sometimes its about vibes. Like last years robbery.
Yes I do feel like it’s biased based on what narratives they got going on at the moment
@@thatboylije7892Duncan never winning a DPOY really show how useless these accolades can be to judge a player’s level, Lebron also never won it and he was basically a bigger more athletic Draymond or Pippen, especially in Miami he was robbed in 2013 when Gasol won it, but in 2013 the ability to switch and guard 1-5 at an elite level wasn’t as valuable as todays, in todays game prime Lebron would easily win DPOY, he is like a bigger more athletic Marcus Smarter or Jrue … And what about AD ? Easily the best defender of the last 10 years imo it’s close with Draymond, Kawhi and Gobert but i think AD is more dominant than them … And then you have Giannis, a great but overated defender.
So yeah, don’t judge a player only with his accolades, you have to add context and look at the analytics stats.
He deserves it. The guy has been impressive all season long, broke records and has been able to single-handedly make spurs games fun to watch
I hope he gets it done, I’ve already watched LeBron break an unbeatable record this season, I wanna see Wemby do the same becoming the first rookie to win the DPOY 🫡
He’s the defensive player of the year in my books
Definitely deserves it
Honestly I think he deserves it, we need some sort of recognition for how incredible and league altering he is on the defensive end. I think it would attest to how special he really is.
I don’t know how getting 10 blocks or getting a couple of 5 steals and 5 blocks games isn’t enough for the league to give him the award
Yes he should be awarded
🫡🫡
Wemby is DPOY no matter what. He is truly an alien. He is doing this as a ROOKIE as well. This is Wemby's league soon.
Wemby can do things on defense that a player can only achieve on NBA 2K.
He’s doing this at what 29 mpg at a soft league with three pointers? His defensive impact despite those limitations cannot be understated
It’s always funny watching people talk behind a screen about how other people are soft
Exactly half of the time he’s being dragged out on the perimeter and still achieving those numbers is crazy
He deserves it, simply put. Am not sure the league has ever seen a rookie being a defensive changer like Vic. He's been ridiculous especially since all star. I guess for all NBA players , he's definitely in the top 3 contenders to win it. Spurs record or not, he's been tested by a lot of players including all stars, responded , and now lately it seems like this is already HIS PAINT you're trying to enter. Absolutely mad.
Yes because he regularly does things that no one else has done.
Victor deserves to be DPOY.
Yessir
He's the best, very fun to watch right !
...he is the dpoy no question...even if he doesn't win it...he is the best defensive player in the league...any one else would win it in a technicality cause they have better teammates...that doesn't mean they were better than wemby this year...
Give The Defensive "Team" Of The Year To The T'Wolves.
Give The Defensive "Player" Of The Year To Wembanyama.
that's good point
Excellent narration.
I thought so, too. And if they end up in the lottery to draft fellow Frenchman Sarr, the Spurs with VW-Sarr-Sochan should just play zone defense and force teams to shoot long 2s and 3pt shots all game.
I love your knowledge of the game I appreciate that a lot. Thank you 💯
Thank you that means a lot
If he dont win dpoy we will riot
I'm not only hoping that he does, but I'm also praying that he does.
it's not rewriting history. it's just writing history if wemby wins dpoy.
That’s true
@@SixthManKC look at me rewriting history.
Very nice explanations.
Being french (and living in France) I've followed his career in the Mets92 team and I had no doubt after half of the season that I was witnessing a player like no other, playing in a team destined before he came to play with them for PRO B (yes you go down to a lower league in France). Wenbenyama didn't only make an impact on the teams performance but made his teamates better players. They ended up just losing the french LNB Pro A final to Monaco who are one of the best teams in Europe only losing the last three games in the last minute.
For those who think they've seen almost everything he has to offer then think again. His career is just starting and with only just one player ready to give him the ball at the right time (Hi Stockton 😊) then as Charles Barkley said a couple of weeks ago "it wouldn't be fair"...
And it won't be fair. If the Spurs invest in just a couple of quality players then there's no contest.
Not gonna lie I had my doubts earlier this before the season but I can’t deny it now I’m about to see another GOAT level talent if he keeps this up
Christian, since you been following Victor, do you know if he is a Christian?
As much as i'd like to see him win it as a fellow French guy, I think that your point on communication is a valid argument for him not to : dpoy candidates should be able to improve their team defense by not only being their best defenders, but communicating on and off the court to elevate their roommate's play on this end, much like a draymond green : great individually and a vocal leader guiding his team to being one of the best defensive team in the league... but you could argue that wemby could win it even without this, that's how good he is :')
It’s hard to tell because the spurs are actually a top 5 defensive team when Wemby is on the floor so he’s already making an impact but him and Gobert deserve it this season for sure
The championship trophy is the award for team success. Individual awards/accolades should be based on individual metrics. For this year, Wemby outperforms Gobert. Him being a rookie is irrelevant.
Exactly it’s kinda unfair especially if Wemby is on the court the metrics show they become a top 5 defensive team
Indeed, @@SixthManKC. That is the stat that will prove DPOY voters foolish if they don't award it to VW.
I really think it's stupid to take team results into account for an individual trophy. He's clearly the best defender in the league, as well as being a great scorer. Okay, he's a rookie, but he's the one everyone's afraid of when they get near the paint. Frankly, it's a shame.
Just looking at stats this season no one is even close to what Wemby is doing especially for the limited minutes that he’s playing. He needs to win
Mr. Jefferson is the perfect comment on Wemby
Iff he can get 2 more 10 block games they have to give it to him
Wouldn’t be surprised if he gets more of those this season, but he’ll get at least one or two 5 steals and 5 blocks game for sure
5 steals is the deal...if i had to bet, i´d say 1 more @@SixthManKC
His not his fault that he's team mates aren't good. Top picks are always drafted to the worst teams. Imagine if he's was a good team, this wouldn't be a discussion. Based on stats and what he's doing whenever he's on the court, he has a strong case to win DPOY. Rudy also has a good case. A co-DPOY can help settle this.
You dont know NBA basketball... its a BUSINESS... they are losing on purpose to get a pick in the next draft to build around him. Just like they did with Duncan, then Manu, then Tony, then they won 5 rings.... Spurs play MARATHON BASKETBALL... Not the 100-meter dash to TRY to win a ring every year. They build slowly for MULTIPLE RINGS. Tony was 19 years old, Manu was a 2nd round pic... Sochan and Vasell are good, and Keldon Johnson already played with Team USA and got praise from all Super Stars when he did. They actually have a VERY GOOD team and YOUNG which are all good ingredients to win MULTIPLE CHAMPIONSHIPS or atleast multiple playoff runs. They're need another athletic big man and a TRUE POINT GAURD. But as a die hard Spurs fans, we dont want that. Spurs take pride in being the underdog and winning with hard work and fundamentals and building and NOT JUST PAY A SUPER STAR BILLIONS TO TAKE 100 SHOTS A GAME.. like LUKA and Lebron.. What's the point in making the playoffs just lose the first round every year? Thats why the spurs lost for the last 7 years to get where they are now. And NOW THE WHOLD WORLD WANTS A CHAMPIONSHIP NOW!!!! LOL Sorry, but it dont work like that in San Antonio, and it's comments like yours that make it fun to scope all the new BANDWAGON FANS. LOL Real TRUE SPURS FANS KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THE ORGANIZATION IS DOING AND THATS WHY SPURS FANS ARE HAVING THE MOST FUN RIGHT NOW. 😂😂😂 We see a very bright future and we dont mind waiting! 😉
I think they’re losing on purpose but it’d be nice to see a rookie break this record this season, since we’ve already seen a crazy amount of records get broken this season alone we might as well add another one with Wemby winning DPOY
@@Indigo3.7/ Duncan had The Admiral and Sean Elliot. They won it all in Timmy's second year. They were already an excellent team. This Spurs team isn't close to winning it in year 2 of the VW era. MAYBE year 3 if the FO, with the draft assets they have built up, makes "all the right moves" this offseason AND the 2024 ping pong balls fall the right way.
Can VW wait till year 3 to be a title holder?
@@TheMilitiaGuy i never said winning a ring. I said maje playoffs.
I have a technical question? If Wemby dunks from the 3pts line, does-it count as a 3pts or as a normal 2 pts dunk?
I think it's 5pts. 3+2 ;)
as a 3pts
I mean if he jumps from behind the 3 point and doesn’t step inside until he lands then for sure it counts as a 3 lol
if he ever did this they would change the rule immediately
But what If when the one who throw him the alley hoop was inside the 3pt line?
French guy here. I agree that Wemby is amazing but Minnesota's defense is even more amazing and Gobert is the core and the general of this defense. His individual stats are not as good as Wemby's and less good than some previous years. But he is also less challenged in the paint, because other players have learnt that it was pointless. And if Spurs defense is second with wemby on the floor, I am sure that Minnesota's one is first with Rudy on the floor. It is probably the last year, but I think that Rudy deserves it this year.
It’s pretty much a coin toss at this point and they’re both great defenders?, but something about Wemby being the only rookie that’s this close to winning an award thats never been won by a rookie before is something to keep an eye on
YES.
Yes. He deserves the award.
Wemby 🔥🔥🔥
Something tells me if his team goes above .500 the rest of the season, and continues his 5+ blocks per game... Hes going to steal the award in unprecedented fashion
Hard to win more if they’re tanking on purpose but the blocks and steals are probably gonna go up some more for sure
He made a new zone on the court because of his. blocks. 2-5. ft zone. Playing in this zone could be beneficial.
Scary part is he can get blocks from pretty much anywhere on the floor
1:40 jesus christ this man got a size 30 shoe
😂
If VW remains healthy, I believe DPOY voters will be forced to vote for him or else they will look foolish and the winner be embarrassed.
Excellent video...enjoyed it.
He probably just needs a few more strong defensive game with 5 blocks or 5 steals or even 10 blocks again. Then for sure that should secure it for him
Thanks I’m glad you enjoyed it
@@SixthManKC/ Another "rare" stat line last night vs. Nets, incl 7 blocks
your all crazy...holmgren is the dpoy, okc is 1st in west.....this award is pure bullshit, idk why nba wants to provoke in such a bad way
Chet is solid defensively but Nurkic snagged 31 rebounds on him and Davis cooked him last night so that’s probably going to hurt his case
is this the same chet that got his shot rejected by wemby during the most important moment in the game? on national tv?
chill dude, im wemby fan base...i dont watch national ...my comment was pure sarcasm
He's not going to get it. No rookie should get such a prestigious award. He's still learning the NBA game. Teams and players will adjust to his length and athleticism during the off season. So lets him get in least 3 seasons of good defense.
Weird take. Just because someone is a rookie they shouldn’t get it because other teams didn’t adjust to a rookie???? That’s backwards the rookie is the one who usually has to adjust it’s impressive he’s even top 2 as a rookie
that's stupid, if it's the best he should have it , the age or debut don't matter. it's a meritocratic reward, put off people of it because they only are one year in a league it's garbage mind, anti competitive and sportman mentality. so there's no "should" involve and worse cause he's a rookie. he may not have it but dare tell thing like " NO rookies should get such a prestigious award" is honnetly dumb.
you're wrong
@@andrebraga3839 statically he's right there and deserves it but such rewards should be reserved for the players who been there before. Victor is going to be great but he just can't cut the line during his rookie year. Besides he's being load managed for a reason.
You are saying he is still learning, and then starting that opposing teams need time to adjust to him ;) If you are so disruptive, and it is working that all team spend there offseason to find an answer, this is an argument for him winning the d-poy. Because this means he is a revolution to the game, and such revolution should be rewarded.
For me it is the team success, sure it is an individuell award but this should be back up by some succes, in germany we say "brotlose Kunst" about what he is doing and i dont find an synonym for it (breadless art is the direct translation , means something like yeah he is good but what it is good for).
The on/off stats provided by this video might change my mind, but probadly i am ok with it when he gets but right now i would vote Gobert.
