Victor Wembanyama scored a game-high 35 points in his play-off debut as San Antonio beat Portland on Sunday
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.
