San Antonio Spurs centre Victor Wembanyama has been named the NBA’s defensive player of the year.

The 7ft 4in France international is the first unanimous winner in the award’s 43-year history having secured all 100 of the first-place votes.

At 22, he is the youngest player to win the award and the second to win it within their first three seasons, after Spurs legend David Robinson (1991-92).

Wembanyama was the first overall draft pick in 2023 and has led the league in blocks (3.1 per game) for the third straight season.

The two-time All-Star also averaged career highs in points (25.0) and rebounds (11.5), and claimed a steal per game.

“I’m super, super happy to win this award and actually super proud to be the first ever unanimous [winner],” he told NBC.
