Everything is going well in the NBA for Victor Wembanyama. The French phenomenon was named rookie of the month for March in the Western Conference for the third time in a row, the North American Basketball League announced Tuesday on social networks.
During this period, the 2.24 m basketball player evolved on bases rarely seen for a player in his first season by compiling 23.2 points, 11.7 rebounds and 3.8 blocks on average.
A player who shines for his consistency
The young interior, aged 20, even became on Saturday the first “rookie” to accumulate 40 points and 20 rebounds in a game since Shaquille O’Neal in 1993. Against the New York Knicks, “Wemby” finished the game with also 7 assists and 1 block.
Brilliant in his consistency, Wembanyama is moving forward on the royal road to win the title of rookie of the year, his rival from Oklahoma City Chet Holmgren seeming to be marking time, after being distinguished in the West in November and December.
In the East, it was Charlotte Hornets winger Brandon Miller who was distinguished, also for the third consecutive month.
