Victor Wembanyama has few accolades, and he has a nonsensical NBA rule to thank.
Despite having one of the best starts to a career in NBA history, San Antonio Spurs' Victor Wembanyama has surprisingly few accolades. Spurs fans have a nonsensical NBA rule to thank.
His NBA debut coincided with a recent rule change that requires players to play at least 65 games to qualify for all NBA and most major awards.
After being outright snubbed for defensive player of the year as a rookie and failing to make the All-Star team, he was again passed over for all NBA and defensive player of the year during his sophomore season.
