It only took Wembanyama two seasons to land on this all-time Spurs list

If you had to guess which one of the Spurs' all-time stat lists Victor Wembanyama has already pushed himself into the top 10 on, I bet you'd nail it on the first try, but I'll tell you anyway. Vic is 10th in blocked shots for the entire 50-plus-year history of San Antonio. That's pretty absurd, considering he hasn't even played in the league for a season and a half.

Wembanyama's only just begun to defy logic

Wembanyama has suited up for 117 games so far in his young career; 71 as a rookie, and 46 as a sophomore. For those who aren't math majors, a half-season is 41 games out of a potential 82. He would have needed to play 123 to reach that mark, but he's six games shy. That didn't stop him from leading the NBA in that category by a wide margin, even by the end of the year.

DVT shortened his season, but it did nothing to slow down his stranglehold as the number one rim protector in the NBA. He finished the regular season with 176 blocks. Second on the list was Brook Lopez with 148 and Myles Turner with 144.

Turner was a member of the Indiana Pacers team that made that deep playoff run all the way to the NBA Finals, and it took him until the Eastern Conference Finals to finally surpass Wemby's block total. That's pretty impressive, no matter how you slice it. The scary part about Vic is that this is just the beginning.

If he has another season like he has over the past two years, he'll be sixth on San Antonio's all-time blocks list, as none of the players in that range are active, except for Jakob Poeltl, but he hasn't worn silver and black for years. Poeltl is 8th on that list, by the way. It took him four years to get there. Wembanyama will pass him two weeks into the season at most.

Scouts knew that he'd be a force defensively as soon as he touched down in the league, and they were absolutely correct. But that doesn't mean that he can't improve. There are always things to work on. But he should have the Defensive Player of the Year award sewn up for the foreseeable future unless politics get in the way. And that's a real possibility.

Sometimes voters get bored with selecting the same person over and over again. It's why some of the greatest players we've seen don't have more MVP awards to their names. If you believe that LeBron James should have only won that award four times, you just aren't being honest with yourself or anyone else, for that matter.

There were several years when Tim Duncan, Shaquille O'Neal, and Michael Jordan were robbed of an honor that should have been obvious. But when people are involved, you leave an opening for rationalizations to deviate from what's right, whether you agree with them or not. But let's hope Wembanyama can gobble up a bunch of DPOY trophies before that happens to him.
