Victor Wembanyama is a professional French basketball player who currently plays as a Power Forward for the San Antonio Spurs in the NBA. He was the number one prospect in the 2023 NBA draft and the most hyped player since LeBron James in 2003.

On January 04, 2004, Wembanyama was born to parents, Felix Wembanyama and Elodie de Fautereau in Le Chesnay, France. In 2019, Wembanyama chose to play for Nanterre 92 to start his professional career. After playing for some seasons, he went to team ASVEL and within one season of him, the team won the Pro A Championship title.

In the 2022-23 season, he moved to Metropolitans 92 and won several accolades including being the youngest player to receive the MVP award in the Pro A league. His impressive gameplay especially, on the defensive end throughout the season, made him win the Pro A Best Defender award. He also led the league in number of blocks and rebounds. Wembanyama outperformed the league in terms of statistics and was named LNB All-Star twice and the league’s best young player in all three seasons.

Wembanyama is a versatile player who knows his defensive role very well. He utilizes his lengthy frame to block shots, avoiding unnecessary fouls. His quick feet and lateral flexibility contribute to him becoming an excellent defender. Hence, Wembanyama's presence in the game improves the perimeter defense immensely.

Wembanyama's offensive game is also as interesting as the defensive end. A 7 feet tall player, making a jump shot becomes very tough for the defenders to react to or block. Furthermore, he can move quite swiftly across the floor given how tall he is.
