Victor Wembanyama is gathering a lot of steam as the future No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft.
On Tuesday night, the 7ft 5in Frenchman took the field against Scoot Henderson – another projected first choice – and the G-League Ignite.
Wembanyama looks stellar in tonight’s national TV showcase on ESPN2. The unique and near-unprecedented style of play the 18-year-old prospect brings to the table has NBA fans in awe.
“Obviously we now know what Wembanyama is capable of in terms of shoot-dribble-pass skills. It’s the fluidity/pace with which he executes that is so compelling when imagining an offense translating into the NBA “, wrote an analyst.
“Victor Wembanyama is an alien,” said another.
“Wembanyama breaks convention in so many ways. He’s as advertised, which isn’t always the case,” said another.
Ahead of tonight’s game, Wembanyama touted this exhibition match as the “biggest game” of his life. The future NBA talent has certainly taken advantage of his opportunity so far tonight.
