After having a fabulous month of February, Victor Wembanyama saw his efforts rewarded with the Rookie of the Month trophy. Stunned by this vote, a Warriors player expressed his disappointment, which provoked strong reactions on the web.
Author of stratospheric performances both offensively and defensively, he seems to have distanced himself from his pursuers in the race for the title of Rookie of the Year. Victor Wembanyama appears to many to be the huge favorite in this fight. This has also been indirectly confirmed in recent hours with a justified coronation as Rookie of the Month in the West:

Brandin Podziemski frustrated by Rookie of the Month vote
Although he left his competitors no chance, Wembanyama was not the only Rookie to shine in February. In a Warriors team in full resurrection, Brandin Podziemski, for example, posted good averages of 10.8 points, 6.7 rebounds and 5.7 assists per game. However, this was not enough for voters to even consider it in their vote, which apparently did not:

With a simple pencil in hand emoji suggesting that he is taking note of this decision, Podziemski is sending a message to the league, but also to his young counterparts. His future duels against Keyonte George, Scoot Henderson or even Derek Lively II will therefore be worth a look. Unsurprisingly, Golden State fans also shared his frustration and believe he deserved better treatment:
You got snubbed prove em wrong

You got snubbed, prove them wrong
While it is no surprise Victor Wembanyama and Brandon Miller who were elected Rookie of the Month for February, Brandin Podziemski considers having been snubbed by the voters. The Warriors player is now on a mission to get revenge in March.
