- Victor Wembanyama wins Defensive Player of the Year if he reaches 65 games.
“if he does, I think we all would agree he's going to win defensive player of the year.”
- Again at 01:01:56: “I think the best is yet to come with Victor's defense, which is insane.”
Make your take
In context
LoweMikhail Brown Jr., Darius Acuff.
LoweAnd that's pretty much the entire rookie of the year. I mean, Acuff, just because he's going to get the ball a ton.
LoweKeaton Wogler, I don't think will start right off the bat for the Clippers. And Yaxo Landeborg, even if he does start, he's just not going to put up the traditional kind of rookie of the year stuff. So I'm with you. Cam Boozer is my pick. Wow. Okay. No, we agree.
LoweNext one is the assignment was defensive player of the year. if Victor Wembenyama does not reach the 65 game threshold? Because if he does, I think we all would agree he's going to win defensive player of the year. I narrowed my field down to seven candidates that I will not name yet.
LoweWho was your pick for the non -Wemby defensive player of the year?
LoweI'll go with
Goldsberrya list of three. I think Chet Holmgren and Rudy Gobert are clearly a part, like there's this tier with Wemby, Chet, and Rudy. And I think Wemby deserves to be far and away number one. So in a world where he doesn't get to 65 games, that would suck as a Spurs guy, Chet Holmgren and Rudy deserve to be there.
