According to the recent reports by the social media accounts of NBA officials on X (formerly known as Twitter), Victor Wembanyama and Chet Holmgren are the two rookies who have led the NBA in total blocks since they became an official stat in 1973-74.

Victor Wembanyama has been hailed as the next big thing in basketball after LeBron James. Every week, his stats become more and more impressive.

He is seen as the leading candidate to outdo Wembanyama and become the best rookie of the year. Holmgren and Wembanyama have made a strong impression in their debut seasons and are revolutionizing the center position.

Holmgren had an impressive regular season, averaging 16.5 points, 7.9 rebounds, 2.3 blocks, and a 37% three-point range. He is a significant contributor to the success of the Thunder, and the developing rivalry between him and Wembanyama is expected to create exciting entertainment for the fans.
