Newcomers Victor Wembanyama of the San Antonio Spurs has become the first player in the history of the National Basketball Association (NBA). For the first time as a rookie player, he has been named the All Defensive First Team, which symbolizes a player with the best defense capability.[안전놀이터 추천](https://www.cmriindia.org)

The NBA Secretariat announced on the 22nd (Korea Standard Time) that Wembanyama won 98 out of 99 votes and was selected as the best defensive team in the NBA 2023-24 season along with Rudy Gobert (Minnesota Timberwolves), Snake Adebayo (Miami Heat), Herb Jones (New Orioles Pelicans), and Anthony Davis (LA Lakers).

Wembanyama from France was the first player to join the draft ahead of this season. He was evaluated as the most talented player since LeBron James was the king. In the NBA as well, he is tall at the center (2 meters 24 centimeters), but he is also capable of footwork, speed, and shooting outside.

Wembanyama averaged 21.4 points, 10.6 rebounds, 3.6 blocks, 1.2 steals, and 3.9 assists in 71 matches he played during the regular season. With his overwhelming physicality of 2 meters and 43 centimeters, the Wingspan showed just the right expression for "spider-handed." He was overwhelmingly No. 1 in blocking. He came in second with 2.4 steals. It is also amazing that he made 1.2 steals on average thanks to his long arms and agile athletic ability.

There have been five cases where a rookie made the All Defensive Second Team. They are the centers that represent NBA history, including Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (1970), Hakeem Olajuwon (1985), Manut Ball (1986), David Robinson (1990), Tim Duncan (1998). However, Wembanyama was named the First Team.

Wembanyama has already won the best rookie of the season and has also been named the "All Rookie First Team."
