Wembanyama is unlike any other NBA talent we've seen. Even if the 7-foot-4 French giant never tried a 3-pointer, this is likely to remain true.
On Sunday, the 19-year-old shocked the Metropolitans 92 against A.S. Monaco Basket with a big play. With a sequence of maneuvers, Wembanyama shook his opponent, missed a stepback 3, and then swiftly followed up with the putback dunk.Following your shot is essential in the league, but it's unusual to see a player of Wembanyama's caliber go back up so fast and then take off from the paint.
Regardless of how the draft order shakes out, there is a clear consensus on who will be chosen with the No. 1 selection, even if some teams' "Tanking for Wemby" effort appears to be slowing down.
The Detroit Pistons, Houston Rockets, or San Antonio Spurs have the greatest chances to secure the No. 1 overall NBA Draft pick, according to Yahoo Sports' Krysten Peek. Scoot Henderson of the G League Ignite and Brandon Miller of Alabama are anticipated to go Nos. 2-3 in either order, and Miller recently registered for the draft.
Wembanyama had 20 points in Sunday's defeat. He is averaging 21 points, 9.7 rebounds, and 2.2 assists in 27 games and shows no indications of slowing down ahead of the draft.
