Victor Wembanyama -- who some say is the best NBA prospect since LeBron James -- signed autographs for a mob of fans as he made his way through Newark airport.
“He’s like a [NBA] 2K created player, every point guard that wants to be seven foot. Cheat code type vibes,” said four-time NBA champion Steph Curry, while Kevin Durant added: “The league’s really in trouble when he comes in.” But if you’ve seen anything of the seven-foot-four-inch French teenager Victor Wembanyama, you might understand why the 19-year-old has garnered the attention of the basketball world with his performances in the French professional league and is the widely presumed No.
Most players his size develop into a prototypical NBA center: good at shot-blocking, rebounding machines, known for the defense and threat close to the basket – just take Wembanyama’s compatriot, Rudy Gobert, for example. But Wembanyama is different. He has become elite at handling the ball, dribbling, passing, jump shooting and from three-point range.
