Victor Wembanyama is coming off an outstanding rookie season.

Durant won the Rookie of The Year Award in 2008, and is one of the best players of all time.

He finished this past season with averages of 27.1 points, 6.6 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.2 blocks per contest while shooting 52.3% from the field and 41.3% from the three-point range in 75 games.

However, the Suns got swept in the first round of the NBA playoffs (by the Minnesota Timberwolves).
