It’s no secret that French forward Victor Wembanyama is one of the most physically gifted NBA draft prospects we’ve seen in a very long time.
The 7-foot-3 18-year-old simply looks like he’s playing the game on easy mode, and he has a deep bag of tricks for his team, the Metropolitans 92 of the LNB Pro A — the highest level of professional basketball in France.
Perhaps the most iconic move in his repertoire is his recently added running, one-legged three-point shot, which simply looks unfair when executed well. Wemanyama pulled it off once again on Friday afternoon, and you better believe the clip made the rounds on NBA Twitter.

It looks like this kid is just playing a different sport, and he’s going to make some NBA team very happy in a few months. Wembanyama is universally considered to be the top prospect in the 2023 NBA draft, and some observers even see him as the most intriguing prospect since LeBron James was coming out of high school.
With plays like these, it’s easy to see why.
