Another distinction for the child prodigy of French basketball, as Mr Victor Webanyama after the rookie of the season award, he was also included in the NBA’s top five defensemen!
In fact, the 20-year-old center of the San Antonio Spurs became the first rookie in league history which earns him a place in the best defensive team, a sign of his immense talent!
Along with “Webby”, in the 1st five are the Rudy Gober (s. had been named defender of the year), Bam Adebayo, Herbert Jones and Anthony Davis!
As for the second best defensive five, that’s where you meet them Alex Caruso, Jalen Suggs, Derrick White, Jaden McDaniels and Jrue Holiday.
The remarkable thing is that his name Giannis Antetokounmpo to shine… through his absencewith the Milwaukee Bucks’ Greek superstar counting down to the past 4 appearances in the defensive top five (2019–2022), one to the other (2017), while in 2020 he was named the best defender of the season!
