By Michael Karlis

After being hit with chants of "overrated" during his first-ever game at Madison Square Garden, the San Antonio Spurs' Victor Wembanyama has proven the naysayers wrong by landing the NBA's Rookie of the Year (ROTY) award. Indeed, Wembanyama won the recognition Monday by unanimous vote...

Victor Wembanyama averaged a dominant 21.4 points, 10.6 rebounds, and 3.58 blocks per game in his rookie season. He played an average of 29.7 minutes a game.
