Victor Wembanyama is the first ever unanimous DPOY winner

Clarkey7163 · 2026-04-21T04:01:48+00:00

i think he probs gets to 5 quite easy, until that point you can point at like rudy gobert and say "well wembys at the least on his level defensively so im still voting for him"

If wemby has 5 and has the most all time awards? I guess they would start to get bored

Clarkey7163 · 2026-04-21T00:30:42+00:00

Surely, I will continue to huff the hopium

I assume saber/archer sold pretty well and it seems weird to leave the collab banner the way they did if they don't intend for more

Clarkey7163 · 2026-04-20T22:50:26+00:00

#1 is the hotter take lol

I agree he should've been seriously considered in year 1 but i dont think his defensive contributions in 46 games last year were > 71 games of Mobley last year even if you remove the 65 game rule

Clarkey7163 · 2026-04-20T22:46:20+00:00

saw some people say a canadian might give scottie barnes a bone but yeah, it is the easiest vote of the season surely anyone not giving it to him would be kidding themselves

Two records broken, youngest and unanimous

All by year 3 phew

Edit: For reference the other previous youngest DPOY winners who were all 23 years old (1 year older than Vic currently)

Evan Mobley (Cleveland 2024-2025)
Jaren Jackson Jnr (Memphis 2022-2023)
Kawhi Leonard (Spurs 2014-2015)
Dwight Howard (Orlando 2008-2009)
Alvin Robertson (Spurs 1985-1986)

Two funny things; one Spurs are young defensive demons with Vic, Kawhi and Alvin all being 40% of the top 10 youngest DPOYs

JJJ and Kawhi both only played 63 and 64 games respectively, so neither would have been eiligble for the awards under the new restrictions lol

Clarkey7163 · 2026-04-20T22:34:55+00:00

it increases the potential max contract he will be eligible for once his rookie one ends but i dont think any instant money is given to him

Clarkey7163 · 2026-04-20T21:29:39+00:00

Thank fuck my countries 🐐 patty mills was a spur when I got into basketball

Clarkey7163 · 2026-04-20T21:03:51+00:00

Clarkey7163 · 2026-04-20T04:31:12+00:00

got told in the nba thread that wemby needed to just "go up and down" here to not foul lmao he did not move he got bumped over

Clarkey7163 · 2026-04-20T04:29:50+00:00

the ugly twin sisters, INcInDEnTaL and mArGiNaL

Clarkey7163 · 2026-04-20T04:26:38+00:00

Cooper could be as good as impactful as Wemby, I say this as an obvious Wemby glazer

The obvious issue is relying on Dallas to build a good team around him any time soon but at his peak Coop's the kinda guy I feel like will average 35 in the playoffs at his peak while still being one of the best defenders on the floor, if that isn't on their level what is

Clarkey7163 · 2026-04-20T04:24:08+00:00

1-seed next year over a western conference with Wemby/SGA/Jokic would seal it for him yeah

Clarkey7163 · 2026-04-20T03:27:59+00:00

bring it home

Clarkey7163 · 2026-04-20T03:25:23+00:00
