Draymond Green is one of the biggest mouths in NBA history, everyone knows that. He always says what he thinks, and it is Victor Wembanyama who has just paid the price. He was not endorsed by the Warrior in the DPOY race.
Thanks to his mobility and natural physical qualities, everyone knew that Victor Wembanyama would be a very good NBA defender from the first day of his career. What we couldn’t imagine, however, was that he would become one of the best in the world in just a few months. His ability to adapt to a very high level is breathtaking.
Moreover, according to the Las Vegas bookmakers, he would be just behind Rudy Gobert among the contenders for the title of Defender of the Year at the end of the season. It must be said that with his average of almost 3.5 blocks in 56 matches played, he got off to a great start. If he continues at this pace, he risks breaking all imaginable records on this side of the field.
Draymond Green vs. Victor Wembanyama DPOY!
The problem is that his mere presence in the paint is not enough to make the Spurs a good defensive team. This is therefore the reason why Draymond Green , in his latest podcast, explained that he could not support the Frenchman’s candidacy in the DPOY race. A real specialist says it:
Victor Wembanyama takes off for the title of Rookie of the Year. He is currently second in the DPOY title predictions. But I can’t agree with that because the Spurs have the 24th best defense in the NBA. This is where it should be noted that his team is not that good and that they are still young. We cannot move the selection criteria for him.
Just because he’s young doesn’t mean he’s deserving and a guy in the 24th defense in the league is going to win this trophy. For me that would change the selection criteria too much. Rookie of the Year is one thing, but DPOY, for me, is required to have good team defense. The Spurs don’t have it. And as his team improves, I don’t think his stats will drop.
For Draymond Green, Victor Wembanyama may be well above the rest defensively, but he cannot be rewarded until his team is better collectively. To chain DPOYs like Rudy Gobert, Wemby will have to wait for the Spurs to surround him with more competent players in the area, which could take years.
Victor Wembanyama is already a huge defender, but not enough to carry his Spurs. So according to Draymond Green, a Defender of the Year title would be unjustified and would change a lot of things in the future.
