San Antonio Spurs rookie phenom Victor Wembanyama may be only 20 years old, but he is perhaps the prospect with the highest expectations coming into the NBA for as long as he’s been drawing breath. The French big man is 7-foot-4 and mobile like a wing, creating a nightmare for opposing ball clubs on both ends of the court.
He can pass, put it on the floor, shoot the rock, and is mainly focused on learning the finer-grained details of the NBA game after a stint playing pro in Europe before being taken No. 1 overall in the 2023 draft.
His 3-point shot needs work to get to league average, but he is already showing signs of knowing where to be on the court to make the most of his superhuman physique. Once he learns how to be more of a crafty player on both ends, it may be game over for the rest of the league.
The folks behind the “Hoop Mastery” YouTube channel recently put together a clip on Wemby’s NBA arrival. Check it out above!
