While many people would have applauded Davis’s feat, some of them couldn’t help but be amazed that Spurs player Victor Wembanyama’s name is amongst the top 3 on the list.

Given that the 18-year-old is currently playing his rookie season, it is impressive that he has already managed to clinch four ’10-stock games’ to his name.
