Victor Wembanyama was named to his first All-Star team Thursday night, one of 14 reserves selected to this year's midseason showcase in San Francisco on Feb. 16.
Wembanyama, who turned 21 earlier this month, is averaging 24.4 points and 10.8 rebounds for the San Antonio Spurs in his second NBA season and is leading the league in blocks for a second straight year.
After narrowly missing out on one of the spots in the starting lineup for the Western Conference behind LeBron James and Kevin Durant, Wembanyama was an easy choice to lead the West reserves.
