Is Victor Wembanyama the best generational rookie in the NBA since LeBron James, or maybe we can get rid of “after LeBron James”?
At 7 feet 4 inches (223.5 cm) tall, Wembanyama doesn’t even need to jump to interfere with a shot because it has an 8-foot wingspan! With such a spooky physique and excellent defensive awareness, the 18-year-old Wembanyama can interfere with any opponent attempting to attack the paint; his long arms also give him the advantage of unsolvable jump shots, and hardly anyone can interfere. Shoot: In a swap match with the G-League Ignite, he went up to seven 3 points and 37 points in Game 1, mainly from the perimeter. . In the second game, Wembanyama played his game, shedding 36 points, and most of them were scored after cutting, back-to-the-frame fallbacks, alley-oops and dunks.
We have never seen monsters of this type before. It’s like a combination of Kevin Durant and Rudy Gobert, or a new generation of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar or Ralph Sampson watching YouTube to learn how to play basketball. Championship team management has even rated him as a Hall of Famer talent and he even has a chance to become one of the league’s all-time greats.

However, Wembanyama himself was the first to say these comments are premature, but two friendlies in Las Vegas have shown the world his hidden talent. Wemby, who plays for the French Mets 92, flew from France to the United States to face potential pick no. 2 of 2023 Scoot Henderson (yes, we have guessed who is the best choice 😅); a strong defender in the shadow of Allen Iverson and Russell Westbrook, and was a solid player in Las Vegas, even though he only played five minutes in Game 2 due to a strained knee. However, there is no doubt that Wembanyama has all the limelight, and all the scouts and uniforms are there to witness just how over-the-top generational talent is.
“It’s not just changing the cornerstone of the franchise, it’s shaking the talent of the entire league,” said an NBA executive. Wemby’s enormous influence was already in turmoil about a year before he was determined to join the NBA. Several teams that have already given up this season are set to become more aggressive in the new season and the playoff system of the playoffs has become less attractive. These rotten phenomena are only for the man called “victory”.
“It’s a little weird,” Wembanyama said. “I never want to lose, but it’s me. But I really want to stay out of it, but in the end it’s still about me, all I can do is pay attention. Work on yourself.”
Wembanyama may shock you with the congenital conditions, however, his investment in football skills shouldn’t be underestimated: Over the past year, Wemby’s jump shot has improved rapidly and in recent years he has contributed 31% to his leagues to the abroad. shot and 68.5 percent from the free throw line. But in the Las Vegas performance, we can see that his shooting pattern is more consistent and many combinations of moves also seem to come from a winger or even a guard.
In an incredible twist in Race 2, Wemby dribbled into the corner, took a step to balance his body and completed a triple in perfectly protected air:
With his rapid improvement and professional attitude, many critics are confident that Wembanyama can be a reliable shooter. This year, the quirky Frenchman is training with Holger Geschwindner, the longtime manager of the legendary Dirk Nowitzki. He already has an excellent finishing touch, coupled with his positive learning ability, is set to improve his efficiency and even become a top-tier shooter like Kristaps Porzingis (35.3% off) or Karl-Anthony Towns (39.7 %).
“If he develops a good jump shot, Victor will be unstoppable.” The line that cuts with ease, followed by a jumper, pass or direct kill to finish, will catch defenders off guard.
