Both San Antonio Spurs players have potentially strong cases for the Rookie of the Year and Sixth Man of the Year, respectively.
Victor Wembanyama and the NBA's Defensive Player of the Year may be the obvious one, but Keldon Johson and Stephon Castle could go for the Sixth Man and Rookie of the Year awards, respectively.Although it was a new role for the forward after primarily serving as a starter for much of his career, he thrived in a bench capacity with averages of 15.7 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game on 45.4 percent shooting from the field and 34.6 percent from behind the arc.
