Vincent Collet on Victor Wembanyama comparison:
“Victor is like (prime) Arvydas Sabonis. Not as strong as Sabonis, but with the same skills. For sure, Sabonis was a mountain, and Victor is really skinny. But they’re both 2.21 m, the same size and skills.” (1/2) – 10:20 AM

More on this storyline
Victor Wembanyama doesn’t enjoy being compared to other stars. He’s aware of his uniqueness, and that many already call him “a cheat code”. “I want to be myself, create my character. I would like to become unguardable one day. A player capable of adapting to all situations, versatile, on both ends of the floor. I would like to play basketball like chess. To predict every move of my opponents and have the right answer”. -via EuroHoops.net / November 11, 2022
Though he wants to make a name for himself, Wembanyama admits that looks up to the biggest basketball stars like Giannis Antetokounmpo and Kevin Durant: “I try to steal some things from them, to apply them in games”. -via EuroHoops.net / November 11, 2022
Being called “an alien” by LeBron James changed little for him. “My life hasn’t changed because of that… but it gave me more communication work. But that didn’t bother me. I work better when I have a lot to do. That’s how I want to live my life,” Victor Wembanyama proudly stated. -via EuroHoops.net / November 11, 2022
