Wemby Wins ROY

S. Samek

Victor Wembanyama won the 2024 Rookie of the Year award. He won unanimously. Wembanyama is the third Spur to win the award, but the last one to do so was Tim Duncan in 1997-1998. He also joins David Robinson, who won the award in 1989-1990.

He deserved it. He balled out all season. Seemed like all the time he was putting up stats and reaching records. He became an exciting player to watch this year, even on a bad Spurs team that went 22-60 and finished in 14th place in the Western Conference. Unfortunately, the strong rookie year didn’t result in a playoff spot.

However, it is good to have a strong player to build around for the future. If Wembanyama can keep it up watch out for the Spurs in the future.
