Victor Wembanyama delivered an outstanding performance in February, keeping up his blistering pace from January. In 12 games, the forward-center for the San Antonio Spurs showed off his versatility by averaging an incredible 21.3 points, 10.7 rebounds, 4.5 assists, and 3.9 blocks per game. Wembanyama is currently leading all rookies in the NBA due to his exceptional shot-blocking abilities. Surprisingly, he is one of just six players, all All-Stars, who are averaging more than 20 points and 10 rebounds per game in the current 2023–24 campaign.
