Hall of Famer Kevin Garnett said he's 'rocking with Wembanyama for Defensive Player of the Year.'
As one of just five players to ever win an NBA title, Defensive Player of the Year and MVP , Kevin Garnett does not impress easily. So it’s not small thing that Victor Wembanyama has left the Hall of Famer awestruck. On his “KG Certified” podcast with former Celtics teammate Paul Pierce , a gushing Garnett said Wembanyama should win Defensive Player of the Year “hands down.
Wembanyama's DPOY bid now in voters' hands Those on/off splits further legitimize the 7-foot-3 rookie as a virtuoso defender who also led the league in blocks per game , total blocks plus steals , block percentage while ranking fifth in defensive rebounding percentage and eighth in rebounding average . Those figures all fed into Garnett's point as he likened Wembanyama to Hall of Famer Dikemebe Mutombo, one of two players to win Defensive Player of the Year four times.
