Former NBA All-Star big man makes bold claim about Victor Wembanyama
In his first season in the NBA, Victor Wembanyama had finished second in the Defensive Player of the Year voting. Wembanyama will likely take home the award this season unless he falls short of the number of games required to be eligible.
It's his award to lose, possibly to Evan Mobley, who has been a difference-maker for the league-leading Cleveland Cavaliers. Nevertheless, Wemby is expected to become the greatest defensive player the NBA has ever seen, according to DeMarcus Cousins.
"There's no doubt in my mind, he'll go down as one of the greatest," Cousins said on 'Run It Back.' "It's not even an argument. At minimum, he'll be the greatest defensive player of all time, like minimum. I'm calling that now, the greatest, so the sky's the limit for this kid."
With the way he's playing this season, it's difficult not to see Wembanyama become a first-time All-Star next month. He will also possibly get votes for the Most Improved Player of the Year.
