Joe Dumars is a legend, but him fining Wemby on Easter Sunday is worse than getting dried apricots in your basket from a wacky health-conscious aunt who insists on everybody wearing bunny ears all damn day. – 1:41 PM

ClutchPoints: “Wemby’s been looking crazy man… he’s brought a different mix, a different effect to the center spot.” @KevinGarnett5KG talks about how good Victor Wembanyana has been in his rookie season 🗣 (via @allthesmokeprod) pic.twitter.com/eQ4wKIwDDL -via Twitter @ClutchPointsApp / March 30, 2024
With eight games remaining, Wemby leads all rookies in scoring (21.0 points per game), rebounds (10.5), steals (1.2), blocks (NBA-best 3.4) and player efficiency rating (22.9). Holmgren leads all rookies in shooting percentage, both overall (53.5) and 3-point (37.7). He also plays for a team that remains in a race for first place in the Western Conference. For the first couple of months of the season, which included an 18-game Spurs losing streak, that was enough to convince some in the media to declare Holmgren the likely winner of this season’s ROY award. -via The Athletic / March 30, 2024
The Spurs’ 13-29 record since New Year’s Day is nothing to crow about. Nevertheless, it should be enough to prove to voters that they should ignore the wins differential that informed the way-too-early belief that the Thunder rookie was on his way to being the top rookie. Might Wembanyama be a unanimous selection? There have been only five in the history of the award. Ralph Sampson (1983-84), David Robinson (1989-90), Blake Griffin (2010-11), Damian Lillard (2012-13) and Karl-Anthony Towns (2015-16). -via The Athletic / March 30, 2024
