Wembanyama has only been backed up by the inconsistent Zach Collins, the often-injured Charles Bassey, or Jeremy Sochan, who is not a center. Bismack Biyombo only stepped into a larger role last season after Wembanayma had been ruled out for the season, and Sandro Mamukelashvili played more of a power forward role until Wembanyama's season ended.

The San Antonio Spurs have back-to-back rookie of the year award winners. After Victor Wembanyama got all the first-place votes last year, Spurs guard Stephon Castle was named the winner of the rookie award this season.

The San Antonio Spurs saw rookie Stephon Castle take home the NBA Rookie of the Year honors on Tuesday night, edging out Jaylen Wells and Zaccharie Risacher.
