Beaten by Chet Holmgren for the title of rookie of the month in November and December, Victor Wembanyama wins the trophy of the month of January in the West. The Frenchman (2.23, 20 years old) has further raised his level of play in recent weeks and the NBA logically rewarded him this Thursday. This is the first time that a Tricolore has received this trophy.
Over the past month, the number one in the 2023 draft averaged 24 points, 9.6 rebounds and 3.4 blocks in just 26.8 minutes of playing time per game. Thanks to the contribution of their interior, now installed at the pivotal position, Spurs won 5 matches in the month (for 11 defeats), which is as many as during the first nine weeks of competition. As a bonus, “Wemby” planted 33 points in the loss to Philadelphia, his second best total.
In the East, it is Brandon Miller, the Hornets winger, number 2 in the last draft, who wins the title of Rookie of the month while Jaime Jazquez Jr. won the first two.
