San Antonio Spurs newcomer Victor Wembanyama has unquestionably lived up to the immense anticipation surrounding him over the past year and a half. It’s increasingly evident that he won’t just be a future star but conceivably the face of the NBA in the coming years. Add Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green among those who believe in the young rising star.
Despite the struggles of the Spurs as a team, Wembanyama has been delivering impressive performances, showcasing steady improvement as the season progresses.
Draymond Green of the Golden State Warriors recently commented that the French prodigy might already rank among the NBA’s top 20 players, as reported by The Volume via NBACentral.
Wembanyama’s stat line speaks volumes: averaging 20.7 points, 10.3 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and leading the league with 3.4 blocks per game. Notably, his shooting accuracy has been on the rise, with a season field goal percentage of 46.7. Over his last 15 games, he’s been shooting an impressive 42.4 percent from beyond the arc.
What sets him apart is his remarkable agility and fundamental offensive repertoire, rare for someone standing at 7-foot-4. Perhaps only Ralph Sampson boasted similar ball-handling and perimeter shooting skills at such towering height.
Currently, Victor Wembanyama’s defensive prowess exceeds his offensive capabilities, with his offensive game still in its nascent stages. Nevertheless, he’s already a nightmare for opposing teams to contend with.
The thought of his potential greatness in just a couple of years is staggering. Green even suggests he could be a league MVP contender by then, despite still being a few years shy of hitting his prime.
