In a showcase game against another contender for the 2023 NBA Draft’s top pick, Wembanyama and Paris, France’s Metropolitan 92s took on Scoot Henderson and the G-League Ignite. The latter squad got the win, and Henderson went off for 28 points and nine assists. But Wembanyama’s performance was the one that captivated NBA Twitter, and presumably any NBA scout and executive paying attention. Even with Zion’s return from a season-long absence happening live on TNT, Wembanyama’s 37 points on 20 shot attempts stole the night. Merely reading those numbers doesn’t do them justice.

No player in NBA history has ever had 30 points, 7 made 3s and 5 blocks in a game.
Victor Wembanyama just did that in his U.S. debut against legitimate NBA talent.
A talent the likes of which the NBA has never seen just did something the NBA has literally never seen. – 1:20 AM

I asked Scoot Henderson why he should go first in the 2023 NBA draft and if there’s extra motivation playing Victor Wembanyama.
Scoot: “I feel like I don’t need any extra motivation…I’m trying to dominate and demoralize whoever I’m in front of.”

I can’t wait to get a real measurement on Victor Wembanyama. I’ve seen anywhere from 7-foot-2 to 7-foot-5 as his listed height. Looking at him, I’d guess he’s around 7-foot-3 or 7-foot-4, but I’d like to know the actual height.
These exhibition games are gonna be fun! – 9:09 AM
