At just 18 years old, Victor Wembanyama already looks like a future superstar of the NBA
The seven-foot-four French teenager has wowed the US this week after showcasing his skills in two exhibition games against development team G League Ignite. Wembanyama, who boasts a reported eight-foot wingspan, inspired his Metropolitans 92 team to a 112-106 win on Thursday, scoring 36 points, 11 rebounds, 4 blocks and 4 assists. It came after a 122-115 loss in the first game on Tuesday where the NBA prospect still managed 37 points.
“It’s obviously an honor to see such great people talk like this about me, but it really doesn’t change anything,” Wembanyama said after Thursday’s game at the Dollar Loan Center. “I was like, ‘Oh that’s cool.’ But no more. I have to try to stay focused. I didn’t do anything yet.” Wembanyama was also watched by friend and fellow Frenchman Rudy Gobert on Thursday, with the seven-foot-one NBA player posing for a photo alongside Wembanyama.
