After less than a year and a half in the NBA, Victor Wembanyama has already displayed a superb offensive range. What could be next for the San Antonio pivot? An observer of the Texas franchise made him a big suggestion.
The least we can say is that fans did not appreciate seeing him being snubbed for Defender of the Month in the Western Conference. Abandoned in favor of Jaren Jackson Jr., Victor Wembanyama However, he had a solid record as he finished the month of December with more than 4 blocks on average. That being said, it is not only within his own half that the Frenchman was able to shine.
We are indeed talking about an absolutely monstrous player in attack, and who has found his cruising speed after a slightly sluggish start to the season. Over the last four weeks, the Alien has averaged more than 28 points, all while adding nearly 5 assists per game. Unstoppable, we tell you… whether under the circle or at three points, the Spurs nugget has established itself as a veritable nuclear weapon.

Without necessarily using it excessively, the Habs could make it another formidable weapon in its arsenal. Especially since as San Antonio fans note, there would be no shortage of mentors there while the franchise has seen specialists pass through:
@ReverseDVD : (LaMarcus) Aldridge said he was keen to work with Wemby…
@Zanao1337 : I dream of seeing him learn to shoot with the board like Timmy (Duncan).
@UrATXRealtor_ : I think it will be for next year. People forget that he wasn’t able to take advantage of the offseason to work on his game. He really wants to adopt KD’s hesitant mid-range shot. So I expect to see that next year.
Victor Wembanyama has already proven that he can score from below the rim as well as draw from behind the three-point line. So why not also become the next king of mid-range shooting? Enough to make him a little more unstoppable on the NBA floors…
