Despite the domination of Rudy Gobert for a time, Victor Wembanyama has achieved great feats in recent months, allowing him to validate the title of rookie of the year. But for a veteran, he also deserves the DPOY.
With the end of the regular season, voters will soon be able to make their choice regarding individual trophies. We expect a great battle for the MVP, while the DPOY has long been for Rudy Gobert when we see his performances at the Wolves. But Victor Wembanyama has hit hard recently, like his 3.7 average blocks, making him the leader in the NBA.
Wemby dominates in many areas this season on defense, to the point where his opponents are sometimes afraid to attack the rim in his presence. This speaks volumes about his impact, so much so that observers are impressed. This is the case of Raymond Felton, former Knicks player and clearly won over by Victor.
Wembanyama still supported by a former
Although Gobert remains the big favorite to win the DPOY, his fourth, voices are being raised to support what Wembanyama is doing for his rookie campaign. An impressive result for Felton, who even goes so far as to say that the race should not be close. According to him, Victor is the real defender of the year, and largely as he explains to Theo Pinson for TidalLeague.

Raymond Felton on Victor Wembanyama’s possible DPOY : “It’s not even tight. People often talk about Rudy Gobert, but it’s not close at all! This guy had 9 blocks the other day. This guy came close to a quadruple-double. He was so close. This is a problem, a real problem. And I love that it gets even better. No matter who he faces, he is truly not afraid. »
It should be noted that Pinson, a former Mavericks player, fully approves of the speech given by Felton. Internet users ? A little less, especially since the gap is not necessarily big with Gobert, who is having a very good campaign for his part.
He must not watch NBA games.

He must not watch NBA games.
Raymond Felton votes for Victor Wembanyama, just like Theo Pinson and Kyrie Irving in recent weeks. The Frenchman is a game-changer in the NBA, and many people want him to be rewarded.
