Victor Wembanyama wins 2023/24 NBA Rookie of the award.
San Antonio Spurs’ forward-centre, Victor Wembanyama has beaten Oklahoma City Thunder’s Chet Holmgren and Charlotte Hornets’ Brandon Miller to emerge the unanimous rookie of the year for the 2023/24 NBA season. In perhaps one of the most impressive seasons by a rookie in the league’s history, Wemby became the youngest NBA player, averaging 21 points, 10.6 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 3.9 blocks per game, one of the best for any first year player in the league. He also became the youngest player and one of 15 in NBA history to achieve a 5×5 stat line, when he recorded 27 points, 10 rebounds, 8 assists, 5 steals and 5 blocks against the LA Lakers. Wembanyama joins David Robinson and Tim Duncan as the three Spurs’ players to win this award.
