Spurs' Wembanyama nominated for Rookie and Defensive Player of the Year awards
This season, rookie Victor Wembanyama met — if not blew past — the high expectations that swirled around him when he landed with the Spurs as the league's No. 1 draft pick. Little surprise then that the 7-foot-4 Frenchman on Monday was nominated for two of the NBA’s most prestigious awards: Defensive Player of the Year (DPOY) and Rookie of the Year (ROTY). A global panel of sports journalists picks three finalists for each of the NBA’s annual awards.
