Victor Wembanyama added another milestone to his rapidly growing resume on Friday, earning his second career All-Defensive First Team selection ahead of Game 3 against the Oklahoma City Thunder .
The San Antonio Spurs star was also the only unanimous pick on the team, marking the second time this season he received an honor in unanimous fashion. However, the achievement was overshadowed by San Antonio’s 123-108 loss to Oklahoma City at Frost Bank Center. Wembanyama finished with a team-high 26 points while shooting an efficient 8-for-15 from the field, but questions remained about his overall impact throughout the game.
However, Yahoo Sports analyst Kevin O'Connor pointed out following the game that Wembanyama did not dominate the game the way the Spurs needed him to. “Victor Wembanyama wasn't great enough tonight. 26 points but only 15 shots.
Only 4 boards. Nowhere near as active as Game 2 - nevermind how ferocious he was in Game 1's double OT win. OKC is doing an excellent job on D but Wemby might be exhausted too.
