Wenban Yama was NBA Rookie of the Year last season and was widely regarded as one of the leaders in the competition for the defense player of the year this season. He made 403 three-pointers this season and sent 176 blocks - a player in NBA history has never reached such a data combination in a single season. When he was diagnosed with a deep vein thrombosis, he averaged 24.3 points, 11 rebounds, 3.8 blocks and 3.7 assists per game.
