Trophies of the Month | Victor Vembanyama is still the best defender in the West
The NBA has made its double-month ruling … and San Antonio is in the spotlight. Victor Vembanyama continues to make his mark in the 2025/26 season by being named “Defender of the Month” for February in the West. Like in January.
In the east it is Derrick White Who’s Awarded: The Celtics leader/guard so epitomizes Boston’s best defense in the last month, one that contests a lot of shots. He is also the third best blocker in his conference in that span behind only Scotty Barnes and Matas Buzzelis!
Spurs and former Spurs are everywhere as the Texas franchise also won the trophy on the youth side. Dylan Harper was chosen as “Rookie of the Month” for February in the West, doc Knuppel could wins Eastern Conference honors with Charlotte.
The Hornets debutant is heading straight for the Grand Slam as it is the fourth time this season that he has been designated, and Cooper Flagg has left his place in the West for the first time.
