Recent reports from NBA officials on X (formerly Twitter) confirm that Wembanyama and Holmgren are the top rookies in NBA history for total blocks since 1973-74.
Victor Wembanyama, often compared to LeBron James, continues to amaze with his improving stats. While starting with challenges at the San Antonio Spurs, he faced tough competition from top scorers.
However, his rookie season stands out with 71 games played, averaging 21.4 points, 10.6 rebounds, 3.9 assists, and a remarkable 3.6 blocks per game. He’s set his sights high for future seasons.
Both Holmgren and Wembanyama have made a strong impression
Chet Holmgren, another standout rookie, played the most minutes and all 82 regular-season games.
Considered a top contender for Rookie of the Year, Holmgren aims to surpass Wembanyama. Both rookies are redefining the center position, with Holmgren averaging 16.5 points, 7.9 rebounds, 2.3 blocks, and a 37% three-point range.
