Wembanyama (20 years old), No. 1 in the draft in 2023 surrounded by great expectations, is the first player to receive this distinction created this season, and is rewarded for the month of November (and the few matches played in October).
Best blocker in the NBA
His appointment follows the good start to the season for the French giant (2.24 m), praised in particular for his defensive work, making him the best current blocker in the NBA (3.5 per game on average).
The good start to the year for “Wemby” corresponds to a good period for the San Antonio Spurs, 10th in the West with 11 wins and 9 losses after a moribund last season.
