Victor Wembayama, the 19-year-old French center for the Metropolitans 92, has become one of the most exciting prospects in the world of basketball since the emergence of Luka Doncic. His impressive performances have caught the attention of NBA teams, who are already vying for his services. At 2.17 meters tall, Wembayama is a total package, able to run the court, rebound, and score from all positions on the court. He is being hailed as the new unicorn of basketball and is expected to dominate the sport in the coming years.
Wembayama’s every game is already a highly anticipated event in France and beyond. He is no longer just a promising prospect, having left an indelible mark on the French league, where his stats are impressive, although the league’s overall level may detract from their value. However, his performances in international matches, such as the recent World Cup qualifier against the Czech Republic, are highly valued. In that game, Wembayama scored 22 points, grabbed 17 rebounds, blocked six shots, and stole four balls. His complete performance was reminiscent of his idol, Rudy Gobert, and allowed him to equal Gobert’s record for most rebounds by a French player in a game. He also made four three-pointers in the game, further underscoring his all-around ability.
Despite his rapidly growing stature, Wembayama’s selection as the number one pick in the upcoming draft will not prevent him from playing in the World Cup for France, something he is keen to do. “I don’t want to miss the World Cup with my country. I’ll be there. It’s very important for me to represent my country.” “Coming with the team is positive for me,” he said from the national team’s training camp. Wembayama’s potential is limitless, and he is expected to be one of the biggest prospects in the history of the sport.
