Victor Wembanyama sent a warning message to the entire NBA that he will be the next big star of the league, by demonstrating the No. 1 overall pick that is beginning to establish himself as the star of the San Antonio Spurs in the preseason, as he had 23 points and four blocks in a 120-104 victory over the Miami Heat.
In just his second preseason game, Victor Wembanyama showed exactly why Spurs He was selected first in the NBA Draft of this year.
He’s just showing what he can be capable of.
The French phenomenon scored 23 points, had four rebounds and four assists in just 23 minutes of play, while the Spurs defeated the Heat 120-104.
However, more than the numbers it produced, Wembanyama showed off his rare skill setas the 7-foot-4 center scored off the dribble in the paint, but also earned points with some carries and drives at the rim.
One of those shots came after a counterattack pass from his teammate Jeremy Sochanin which Wembanyama drove his way to the rim from the free throw line before dunking the ball.
The Frenchman also made four blocks and showed, unsurprisingly, how his massive frame will be a big help on the defensive end.
“I’m really learning a lot and I’m also trying to expand my tools on defense as well,” he told TNT after the game.
