Less than 24 hours after the announcement of his next team, the San Antonio Spurs, Victor Wembanyama, the new star of French basketball, has just been awarded all the individual trophies of the French championship by the National Basketball League (LNB) . The Boulogne-Levallois player was voted MVP (best player) for the regular season and retained his titles of best youngster (which he had already obtained in 2021 and 2022) and best defender (like last season).
“Wemby” said the MVP trophy was “in his head” at the start of the season but that “no individual title matters if it doesn’t follow a goal. » « These trophies are sublimated only because we had this second place in the championship. If we had been relegated or out of the play-offs, it would have meant nothing at all,” he added.
“Wemby” in the major five
At 19 years old and 2.21 meters tall, the interior is already oversized for the Betclic Elite. Statistically he finished best scorer (21.6 pts average), best rebounder (10.4) and best blocker (3) of the regular season. He is logically in the five major of the championship alongside the Frenchman Nando De Colo (ASVEL), the Zimbabwean Vitalis Chikoko (Pau-Lacq-Orthez) as well as the Americans Matt Morgan (Le Mans) and Ronald March (Roanne). Laurent Villa (Cholet) was voted best coach.
Victor Wembanyama will be engaged with the Mets 92 in the play-off quarter-finals from Sunday against Cholet.
