A little over a month ago, the San Antonio Spurs won the lottery after getting the No. 1 pick for what will be the 2023 NBA Draft on June 22. The one prospect who everybody is talking about, is none other than Victor Wembanyama. A freakishly tall and slender prospect who plays as a power forward and a center with impressive stats. These numbers and his style of play are the reason he is already considered one of the greatest prospects of all time. On June 22, Wemby will be the star of the show and the San Antonio Spurs are the ones who will get him. Let's take a closer look at both his stats and his achievements playing pre-professional basketball in his native France.
Currently, Wemby plays for the Metropolitans 92 at the LNB Pro A league in France, he has been constantly delivering performances that are already making San Antonio Spurs' fans savor the moment he is announced. The idea is t only count the previous season with the Metropolitans because he really didn't have such impressive numbers while playing for Nanterre or ASVEL. Although he has won the Pro A Best Young Player Award three times already, and swept the trifecta of individual awards in 2023. Wemby won the MVP, Best Scorer and Best Defender Award in 2023. Plus, he also won the Best Young Player Award, Best Blocker and made the all-league first team.
Wembanyama could take the NBA by storm
The numbers that got him these trophies were a total of 21.6 points, 10.4 rebounds, 3 blocks, and 2.4 assists per game. Wembanyama is a natural born scorer whose physique deceives everybody. Normally, players with a similar build tend to struggle more to dribble or shoot. But not Wembanyama, he is already considered a freak of nature even before coming to the NBA. As we go through a Zion Williamson and Ja Morant disappointments with their draft, it would be great if Wembanyama's arrival got people hyped up for a prospect who has the potential to take the NBA by storm.
