Victor Wembanyama continues to impress observers with his prowess, including Stephen A. Smith.
For the polemicist, Wemby is finding a good place among the best players in the league.
With 21.2 points, 10.5 rebounds and 3.5 blocks (NBA leader) on average, the Frenchman is having one of the best campaigns for a rookie in the history of the league.
And at only 20 years old, we can say that it’s pretty scary for the competition.
However, whether in attack or defense, it is obvious that Wemby still has a lot of progress to make.
He hopes to develop several unstoppable moves on the floor, while his shot selection is not always perfect, like his 9/29 against the Nuggets earlier in the week.
But despite these shortcomings, Wembanyama may be in the top 20 best NBA players this season.
Wembanyama still praised by a polemicist
Knowing that Victor will be rookie of the year and that he should obtain a good place for the DPOY, behind Rudy Gobert, we can afford such a statement.
Stephen A. Smith approves for his part, since he thinks that the person concerned is even close to the top 10 with his performances. Not bad for a rookie.
Stephen A. Smith on ESPN regarding Wembanyama : “He’s getting very close (to the top 10 best NBA players this season).
He’s already very close to the top 10. And the reason I say that is because he’s 2m24, and he has an incredible impact on the defensive end.Sometimes we get so focused on offense that we forget that players have to play on both ends of the floor. »
“Do I think he’s top 10, or close, on offense?
No. Even if he has a shot, a handle, he remains quite thin and there are limits when you are like that in the NBA. But he has talent.
What impresses me the most is how he impacts the game defensively. »
It is not for nothing that voices are being raised for Wembanyama to win the defender of the year trophy, ahead of Rudy Gobert or Anthony Davis.
We cannot deny the impact of the Frenchman in defense, to the point where even Draymond Green has just turned his coat around in this story.
Victor Wembanyama close to the top 10 best NBA players? The debate is open, especially when we see his impact on the Spurs.
Whatever happens, it’s only a matter of time before the Frenchman invites himself to this prestigious club.
