All it took was one glimpse of Victor Wembanyama on the court, and fans were sold.
ESPN2 on Tuesday night televised a game between the G League Ignite team and Metropolitans 92, which is a French league basketball team. The game was designed to showcase Wembanyama and Scoot Henderson, who are projected by many to be the top two picks in the 2023 NBA Draft.
Both players played well, but Wembanyama was an absolute star. The 7-foot-3, 18-year-old big man had 37 points and 5 blocks. He was 7/11 on three-pointers, showcasing his improbable range.
Wembanyama was so good that he had people salivating over his talent. Everyone was saying the same thing: Teams will be tanking so hard to try and get the future star.
