Many are impressed with the talent that Victor Wembanyama has on the court. With his height, he does things that are outstanding, which explains why he's the top recruit this year. The point guard for the Minnesota Timberwolves, Austin Rivers, broke down Wemby's game, explaining that he'll do well in the league:

"As LeBron James would put it, it's alien-like. For him to be able to grab rebounds, push it coast to coast, finish at the basket, shoot the 3.

"Splitting the defense as a 7-footer, with his hands, putting the ball low between his knees so they don't get it. Finishing at the basket, he has all the intangibles of a superstar, and to have it this young, we just have neve seen before."
