Being 7-5 (probably 7-7) definitely doesn't hurt, but there's much more to blocking shots than Victor Wembanyama's height. The Spurs' superstar center is the overwhelming favorite for the upcoming Defensive Player of the Year award, and there's a heavy consensus that this will probably remain the case for the next decade-plus.

The Frenchman's 254 blocks in his rookie season led the NBA by a whopping 64 (Chet Holmgren, 190) and was the second-most all-time by a rookie who played in fewer than 80 games.

“You got guys in our league that you have to account for any time you get around the rim or around the perimeter in our league history,” LeBron James declared after the Lakers' final matchup with San Antonio in 2024. "He sits right at the top of it, around the top, with all the greats."

Wembanyama's massive wingspan is only enhanced by his natural ability to anticipate, but it's his reaction time and lateral quickness that makes him one of a kind. Dozens of guards have been burned by thinking their usual stepback will do the trick. Other times, guys could've sworn Wembanyama was out of position, throwing up an alley that's met with an emphatic block instead of an oop.

On top of his devastating knack for swatting shots, Victor's presence alone has become enough of a deterrent to prevent the league's most talented players from even trying in the first place. Synergy Basketball's Todd Whitehead once created a hilarious new measure of rim deterrence he affectionately called HELLNAH's (used to describe a player's thought process when turning around despite seemingly having an open lane due to Wemby's presence).

In his rookie season, there were 145 different NBA players who had the nerve to try Wemby only to see their shot pinned off the backboard, spiked to the floor, or even just directly taken from their hands.

Collectively, Victor Wembanyama has now blocked 225 different players in his NBA career.

To date, the Pistons are the only team against whom Victor Wembanyama hasn't recorded a block -- a fact he's now aware of. He played for 21 minutes in a blowout win over Detroit in their first meeting and was inactive for the following three. His chances to tally his first rejection against the Pistons will come on February 23 and March 6, 2026.

While the Spurs' defense hasn't been close to what it used to be in the glory days, they have an unquestionably bright shining star to build around, and that star hasn't even begun to scratch the surface. As the months go by, Wembanyama's block list might just end up breaking this page.
