Still to Play 1st NBA Game, Victor Wembanyama Receives an Elite “Top-5” Honor From Celtics Legend

The 7?4 Frenchman closed the deal against the Golden State Warriors, leading the Spurs 122-117. The recent 19-point performance, along with 4 rebounds, 1 assist, and 3 blocks, of the 19-year-old, seems to be the next big thing in the NBA. One thing is under speculation, “is the first draft pick of 2013 here to stay and dominate?”?

The gameplay, embellished by both offensive and defensive tactics, and the left-handed dunk from outside of the restricted area are just remarkable. Not only that, he does that all in not even half of the game time, i.e., just in 21?23 minutes on the hardwood.

A Free Hand to Victor Wemabnayama by the Spurs

In a recent interaction with Paul Pierce, it?s now an established fact that the whole NBA fraternity is waiting for the first NBA game between the San Antonio Spurs and the Dallas Mavericks. Well, Paul didn’t hesitate to crown him with the title of “Top-5” in the NBA.

Paul Pierce said: ?And can do what KD do, do what Antentokuompo do, do what Anthony Davis do, and can do what Embiid can do.? Just with a Phew! he continued: ?Man, he is one of the top 5 skilled players.??

There seems to be a unanimous nod to that claim with the scores that Wemby has put on the board, along with his spectacular ball-handling skills. Not only the Heat, but the Golden State Warriors also tasted defeat, with the rookie registering a 19-point score in 21 minutes on the court, this preseason.?

Will the likes of Luka Doncic and Jason Kidd be able to contain the talent?

Wemby Is on His Way to Becoming the ?Next Big Thing?

Striking a resemblance with Rudy Gobert, adapting the gameplay of Kevin Durant, and having a glimpse of Kareem Abdul Jabbar, he is a surcharged hooper. Outstanding instincts and mobility assist Wemby in rim protection and guarding the space. His large caricature helps him cover not less than a quarter of the court, thereby giving him an edge in defense.

With counter footwork to shake free operating back, Vic offers more skill, wiggle, and touch offensively as well. His height offers him a competitive edge; he makes no strides to get close to the rim; rather, he can make it over the shoulder easily.

Among other first-round picks such as Chet Holmgren, Jaden Ivey, Johnny Davis, and Patrick Baldwin, he is the best pick. However, do the Spurs have a lottery ticket to enter the conference finals with Wembanyama in their pocket?
