We suspected that Victor Wembanyama would reach a new milestone this season, but perhaps not to this extent. He’s having another crazy week with his Spurs, and this statistic is enough to shock people in the NBA.
Author of 42 points for his first Christmas Day, Victor Wembanyama may have won a lifetime subscription for December 25 in NBA. The league will in any case want to see him again next season, especially when it will be necessary to take over the media from LeBron James. The Frenchman seems to have the talent and attitude for it.
What he achieves with Saint Anthony is simply incredible, so much so that many fans already place him in the 10 best players in the league. This may seem a little premature for a simple sophomore who still has a lot to learn, and yet the facts are there. And the best is yet to come for him in this league.
Victor Wembanyama on a crazy series with Spurs
Monstrous defensively, we know for example that Wemby is already the favorite to win the DPOY title. He still has a crazy average, so this trophy should not escape him this time, Rudy Gobert being far away now and not even on the podium for some. But that’s not all.

What continues to surprise with Of the fleshit is this ability to protect your circle and punish at three points when it is necessary offensively. An absolutely crazy mix, as SportsCenter just reported.
SportsCenter : “There is only one case in NBA history where a player recorded 4 three-pointers and 4 blocks in at least two games in a row. It’s Victor Wembanyama and he just did it 4 times in a row. »
The Frenchman’s last 4 matches are absolutely crazy, he who seems more determined than ever to play his first playoffs in this league. We don’t know if that will be enough, but the person concerned doesn’t have much to reproach himself for.
The supporters on X are in shock for their part.

No doubt, Victor Wembanyama is already achieving important feats in the league… and only for his second campaign. Impressive for the Frenchman, even if the objective for him is above all the playoffs.
