NBA official announcement: Wen Ban Yama won the Best Rookie of the Season award!
This result is not surprising, as Homgren and Wenban Yama were equally strong at the beginning of the season.
But after the All Star Game, Wen Ban Yama quickly widened the gap with other rookies.
Nowadays, Wen Ban Yama's goal is no longer limited to the title of Best Rookie.
Wen Banyama received all 99 first votes, with a total score of 495 points!
Homgren scored a total of 295 points, Brandon Miller scored 86 points, and Huck scored 10 points.
O'Neill expressed his opinion: "Wen Ban Yama not only deserves to win the Best Rookie Award, but also the Best Defensive Player. Wen Ban Yama's data is even better than Gobel's.".
Before the end of this season's regular season, The Athletic interviewed 142 players in the league and asked them who was the first player they selected to be the most suitable for building the team:
Wen Banyama ranked first with a vote share of 27.9%, Jokic ranked second with a vote share of 27.2%, Edwards ranked third with a vote share of 10.3%, Dong Qiqi ranked fourth with a vote share of 8.8%, and Alexander ranked fifth with a vote share of 4.4%.
This survey covered over 100 players from 30 teams, so the results are quite convincing.
Wen Banyama also confirmed this in an interview: "I have been contacted by players who want to form a team with me, but I have chosen to be myself.".
For me, the NBA is a whole new world, and I believe one day I will become a part of the team's lineup
Wen Ban Yama's strength not only won the recognition of his opponents, but also became a new generation of traffic stars in the league!
After the regular season ended, the NBA announced its jersey sales for the second half of the season: Curry ranked first, James ranked second, Tatum ranked third, Wenban Yama ranked fourth, and Alphabet ranked fifth.
However, neither Edwards nor Zion made it to the top 15.
In addition, there is another list worth paying attention to.
After the end of this season, the NBA's official social media platform ranked James first in player video views with 1.9 billion views; Curry ranked second with 1.7 billion times; Wenban Yama ranked third with 1.3 billion times; Dongqiqi ranked fourth with 1.2 billion times.
The playback volume of other players did not exceed 700 million times
Wen Banyama is the third player in the history of the Spurs to win the Best Rookie award, with David Robinson and Duncan in the top two.
In addition, Wen Ban Yama is also the only NBA player since the beginning of the 21st century to average at least 20 points, 10 rebounds, and 3 blocks per game! He still ranks sixth in NBA rookie season blocks in the past 30 seasons!
