Victor Wembanyama’s Surprising Path to NBA Defensive Player of the Year Revealed
So here we are, just three games into the 2025-26 NBA season, and Victor Wembanyama is already towering over the competition—literally and figuratively. The San Antonio Spurs’ titan has bulldozed through early expectations, posting numbers that make you wonder if the Defensive Player of the Year race might already be over before it’s really begun. I mean, when a player has a 68 percent chance to snag that award, leaving everyone else scrambling for scraps—that’s not just dominance; it’s a statement. Is this the kind of season where Wembanyama rewrites the defensive playbook and also tosses his hat into the MVP ring? Hang tight—because if his current form is any indication, this is a leap forward so seismic it might just shake the entire league to its core.
Victor Wembanyama of the San Antonio Spurs has had a sensational start to the 2025-26 NBA season.
His Spurs are now 3-0, and Wembanyama has had stunning game after stunning game.
He has done so well, in fact, that he is a major frontrunner for one of the most important end-of-season awards in the league.
According to Prophet X, Wembanyama now has a 68 percent chance of being named Defensive Player of the Year.
That means everyone else in the league has a combined 32 percent, highlighting just how impressive Wembanyama has been with his defense this year.
Victor Wembanyama now has a 68% chance of winning DPOY this season, per @PlayProphetX
He’s already a massive favorite just three games into the year. Anyone NOT named Victor Wembanyama has only a 32% chance of winning DPOY. Let that sink in.

Wembanyama was at it again on Sunday, posting 31 points, 14 rebounds, and six blocks against the Brooklyn Nets in a 118-107 win.
In his first game of the season, Wembanyama produced 40 points, 15 rebounds, and three blocks.
Game two saw him create 29 points, 11 rebounds, and nine blocks.
Everyone expected a big year from Wembanyama, and he has been delivering again and again.
His defensive game is unlike any other, so it’s not a shock to see him such an odds-on favorite for DPOY.
It’s only been three games, but it’ll be hard for someone else to take the place as the top pick for this prize.
But if he keeps playing like this, he may win more than just Defensive Player of the Year.
Wembanyama’s chance of becoming MVP greatly increased after his first game of the season, and his odds to earn that could only grow in the months ahead.
It’s clear that Wembanyama is taking a leap forward this season, and he could be racking up several awards when the year comes to an end.
