Victor Wembanyama is eagerly awaited across the Atlantic, where he is seen as a talent that could revolutionize the game in the NBA… But before taking the plunge, the young pivot of ASVEL cut his teeth in the French championship, and he has just to be nominated for a prestigious individual title.
NBA scouts must start counting down the days until Victor Wembanyama arrives in the NBA, a league where his talent could be game-changing. A recent article byESPNin which the journalist bowed completely in front of the young pivot of ASVEL, reflected the impatience and excitement surrounding the Frenchman. His profile is unique in the story, and therefore very intriguing.
But the obvious qualities of the future n°1 of Draft are not only recognized across the Atlantic, since he has just been selected by the LNB in the final list for the title of Best Young Player of the season in Betclic Elite. He didn’t necessarily play much, due to a few injuries, but his performances were impressive enough to earn him a place among the nominees.
Victor Wembanyama double Best Young Betclic Elite?

Already a winner last season, Victor Wembanyama could achieve the double and once again win the title of Best Young Player in the French championship, thus joining players like Nicolas Batum, Evan Fournier or Frank Ntilikina on the list of double winners. As a reminder, this season, the tricolor pivot is running at 9.4 points, 5.1 rebounds and 1.8 against in 16 games played.
But the competition will be fierce, since a player like Juhann Begarin has played more games, and he has slightly better statistics than the future Draft No. 1. With the Paris Basket, the back is running at 11.1 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.5 interceptions, which could allow him to win to almost everyone’s surprise as expectations were high around Wembanyama at the start of the season.
In any case, you can make your prediction below, and for the moment, the ASVEL player is in the lead:

Victor Wembanyama has already won the title last season, and he would no doubt be delighted to do the double, proof of a successful integration into ASVEL. A new coronation could still raise his rating across the Atlantic, which is not trivial one year from the Draft.
