Victor Wembanyama Is Becoming A Monster...Is He The NEXT Defensive Player Of The Year...
The San Antonio Spurs have the NBA's next Defensive Player of the Year in Victor Wembanyama. In today's video, we seek to understand whether the D.P.O.Y. is based on individual performance or team success (Rudy Gobert vs. Victor Wembanyama). We also examine whom Victor models his NBA playstyle after. I hope you enjoy ;)

[@lecoolpotager6670]

wemby fan since I follow him since his debut in France, as I am french, I think Rudy must win it. He is the best defender and made Minnessota the 1st defense team. They were not before he came ;)

Wemby 100+ blocks more 100+ steals more and without his team is dead last in defense. Wemby has a bigger impact on his team than gobert does

[@dingleberry4013]

Answers to the questions: Q1: Do you think Wemby deserves the DPOY? A1: Yes. Q2: Why? A2: Because he is the best defensive player of the year.

[@jay-arcorpoz9112]

Yeah it's about being the the best defensive player not defensive team

[@MCloud-vf6xl]

I don't understand the rules of the DPOY. But I feel the player that impacts the games he is in and the season playing in should be the winner. Not the team if the team is involved then it should be a team award. The top ranked team defense. I still feel it should be an individual award and the player most disruptive to the opposition is the DPOY, regardless of the team record. So with that said VW is the winner to me. This year hands down!! 👽

[@linstondanan5116]

I don't even understand why anyone would ask this question. Statistics speak for themselves. These are the facts! Yes, without a shadow of a doubt. Wemby is the best!

[@Toysoldier9527]

MVP in 3 years, 1st playoff in 4, 1st final mvp in 5. 3+ final mvp in 10 years

[@jdoconnor8883]

They ended the season strong winning games against top comp and losing closely...with vassel and sochan out. They may be a surprise playoff team next season

[@caleb10jag61]

I think for him to win MVP his team would need to make playoffs. I’m a huge spurs fan, so excited to see who we draft and what talent we bring in. If we can do enough, maybe we’d slid into the play in next year, and even steal the 7th or 8th seed. I can see us winning 45ish games next year as long as we can get wemby some real defensive help, and some shooters. Hopefully by his 3rd year, the Spurs will be a top 5 team in the West and winning closer to 55 games than 45 games, and that might be when we see him get that MVP

[@Toysoldier9527]

@jdoconnor8883 The top teams would play not as agreesive as the standing is somewhat fixed. to protect their key players. Spurs still have much work to do.

[@Yahurr]

Don't sleep on Brian Wright. 40 mill in cap space, 30+ picks over the next 5 years, & the draw of Pop/Wemby. Playoffs in the next two years.

[@suhaasvemuri7980]

My guess for his accolades and stats by the end of his career is: 14x all star, 9x all nba 1st team, 10x all defensive 1st team, 4x all defensive 2nd/3rd team, 4 championships, 4 fmvp, 5 MVP, 6 DPOY, 1 scoring title. Career STATS: 25 PPG, 13 RPG, 6 APG, 3.5 BPG, 1.2 SPG, 51% fg, 38% 3 pt Place all time: 2nd or GOAT

[@totalpackage2107]

The last 3 DPOTY winners had a total of 252 blocks…WEMBY has 252 his rookie year!!! Who you think!

How about this.. as a community we all know who should win Doesn’t really matter Like Wemby said Let him have it, enjoy it, cause you won’t win another.

[@era_emissary]

well if wemby team continues to loss neither will wemby

[@Christian-xr7hc]

⁠@@era_emissaryRuss won MVP as a 6th seed. i get what you’re saying, but giving anybody DPOY over Wemby after this season will just be insane. it’s an individual award, not a team award. it’s crazy to think all the ppl voting don’t get that lol

[@cloudwalker9572]

He 100% deserves it. Only thing Rudy has is team record. If Rudy wins it it's either an unspoken rule that a rookie can only win roty or they want to give a last one to Gobert before Wemby's take over.

[@PortmoreDon80]

I think Wemby has frightened the fxxk out of everyone during this season???

[@delmccormack7001]

Yes. The eye stats. People reacting to what they witnessed. The reaction to something new and amazing or surprising. The eye stats.

[@MxMstr71]

If what he does on court helps his team, vs when sitting down and his team struggles defensively, then yes, he should win it.

[@fuzzion78]

hell yeah! no one else should accept the award but wemby this season

[@rgmto]

Wemby deserves DPOY and he will probably deserve it for the next few years. What he's doing is unprecedented. Gobert's team is at the top but how much of it is because of his defense? He's been a top defender for several years now but it's only now that he's anchoring the defense of a contender.

[@pablorobles1277]

In light of his individual stats VW absolutely deserves DPOY. The award speaks for itself. DplayerOY not DteamOLY.

[@pedroalvarezsoto6818]

Estamos viendo el amanecer del próximo idolo de los 10 o 15 años que vienen no lo digo yo lo dicen las estrellas actuales de la nba . lo que digan comentaristas o aficionados como yo , lo dicen los idolos actuales, excelente tus videos en youtube. 😊

[@thunderingthelightning]

"Highlights Of The Year".

[@elmoblatch77]

Yes bc he's the best defender in the world. Should have nothing to do with team wins. Seems like an individual award to me. More blocks., more steals, more instances where players dribble in to the lane and immediately turn around if Wemby is there.

[@ChristopherP]

His stats earned him DPOY.

[@Jamesjules-do1tg]

He Smashed Jovic this was a very big Win for Wemby!!

[@cyrilleribeiro5030]

For his statistics, yess because no one is on his planet. For his impact on his entire team defensively, not yet. For its collective assessment, No. But he still deserves the trophy because opposing teams must change their way of attacking him otherwise he punishes them, even MVP Nicolas Jokic yesterday.

[@water8635]

When he’s off the floor spurs are the worst defence in the nba, when he’s on the floor they are top 3. He makes the biggest impact than anyone in the league defensively.

[@jay-arcorpoz9112]

What is to be the debate anyway, Defensive player or defensive Team

[@Demckeaks]

I wonder if people genuinely thought he would be this good or if they just bought into the hype and just so happened to be right.

[@brt432]

It's a individual award... defensive player of the year... not defensive team of the year !!!... The team record does NOT reflect on individual stats !!!!!...

[@agardigitoxlinks8206]

The rationale behind denying Victor DPOY is nonsense. He is defending against the best in the NBA and besting them.

[@vh6089]

They won’t give it to him but TBH he should win DPOY, NBA first team, ROY NBA, all defensive first team. Hell you could argue MVP with the numbers he’s putting up but that’s not realistic as there is other actual arguments for MVP.

[@dimes3967]

Tim Duncan not DPOY: because Spurs too strong. Wemby not DPOY: because Spurs too weak.

[@docstew75]

I have heard two arguments against Victor: 1) his team was not good (although if they had played the beginnng of the year the way they played at the end, they would've made the playoffs), therefore he can't win and 2) he's a rookie and needs to "pay his dues"; rookies compete for ROY, not DPOY. I think your video debunks the first point very well (Victor's had arguably the most statistically impressive defensive season ever); the second is a pile o' crap and voters who say that shouldn't be voting.

Email? The title is called defensive player of the year defensive team of the year. It’s simple.

[@LoonieGoon3r]

If it were Chet in the Spurs putting up Wemby's defensive numbers now, not only would he be DPOY, he would have won it unanimously. But the NBA don't want a foreign player win ROTY & DPOY in his rookie season. This has NEVER been done. So they'll rather give a foreign vet player in Rudy than to give it to Wemby - The NBA is rigged. Foreign NBA players this season should win ALL the accolades (including Finals MVP) this season, but the NBA will make sure Denver Nuggets or Dallas Mavericks don't win the finals.

[@joejoet1933]

You do realize that wemby would be losing out DPOY to another French player, ie another foreign player?

[@LoonieGoon3r]

@@joejoet1933 Yes. the NBA don't want such an historical record to be held by a 20 year old, French rookie. Cause Wemby ABSOLUTELY should be DPOY & ROTY.
