Victor Wembanyama has been the talk of the basketball world. The talented international big man is the runaway favorite to be the top pick in the 2023 NBA draft.
Throughout the 2022-23 season, Wembanyama has been playing overseas with the Metropolitans 92. Victor has become a highlight machine. At 7-foot-4, Wembanyama has the size and fludity to be a potential unicorn at the NBA level. He's a gifted two-way player who can dominate in multiple aspects of the game.
While Wembanyama has shown a dominant shot-blocking ability, he's also been a gifted player on the offensive side of the ball. Wembanyama has been a force on the court and stands out with his versatility.
That versatility was on full display in his recent game against ASVEL. Victor Wembanyama had a putback dunk with 3.5 seconds remaining against his old team as the Metropolitans 92 won 84-83.

Victor Wembanyama continues his impressive season overseas
Victor Wembanyama continues to have NBA scouts fascinated by his upside. The recently turned 19-year-old is oozing with the potential to be a superstar at the next level.
