No. 1 draft pick Victor Wembanyama has added another feather to his cap.

Victor Wembanyama was unanimously selected to the 2023-2024 NBA All-Rookie First Team, becoming the 12th Lane in franchise history to do so, according to league officials.

Wembanyama, who was named the 2023-2024 NBA Rookie of the Year earlier this month, is the first member of the Silver and Black to earn First Team honors since Kawhi Leonard in the 2011-12 season.

In his 71 appearances during the season, the No. 1 draft pick averaged 21.4 points, 10.6 rebounds and a league-best 3.58 blocks, according to the NBA.

Additionally, Wembanyama led all rookies in points, rebounds and blocks per game. He scored in double figures in all but three of his games, scoring more than 20 points in 41 of those encounters. Additionally, he recorded six 30-point games and one 40-point game.

Additionally, the center finished the season with 26 games in which he recorded 20 or more points and at least one block, one steal, one assist and one made three-pointer – the most of any rookie in league history.

According to the NBA, Wemby joins Chet Holmgren of the Oklahoma City Thunder, Brandon Miller of the Charlotte Hornets, Jaime Jaquez of the Miami Heat and Brandin Podziemski of the Golden State Warriors on the 2023-24 All-Rookie First Team.
