Wembanyama’s unicorn traits allow him to have his own system, and whether it is the Spurs or the Hornets, who currently have the highest chance of being the No. 1 pick, they all need an absolute core and system for team building to complete the reconstruction. Then we may have the opportunity to witness the birth of the first player in the league in the next ten years.
Time goes back to the U16 European Championship in 2019. France lost to Turkey by 21 points in the third place game of the previous year, which also made them miss the podium that year. So in the following year, France was replaced by Ousmane Dieng, who later entered the NBA. Leading, hoping to make a comeback in the U16 arena. And then France also passed all the way, and finally lost to the big devil Spain in the championship. However, unexpectedly, the most amazing member of the entire French team was Victor Wembanyama, who was only 15 years old and already had a height of 7 feet 2, and his debut in the international competition almost surprised the NBA scouts on the sidelines. Drooling, following seven games, he averaged 5.3 blocks per game, which is an extremely terrifying 9 blocks per 40 minutes. His ability to protect the frame can not help but remind people of Rudy Gobert, another giant tower in France. From the perspective of the game, his peripheral defensive ability seems to be stronger than Gobert. Overall, he is an excellent frame protector and has a certain degree of perimeter defense.
But as Wembanyama began to show his talent in various arenas, things began to become a little different. First, the Adidas Next Generation Tournament in 2020, followed by the Metropolitans 92 (Metropolitans 92) who entered Ligue 1 from the youth training team. More scouts and fans will stop at nothing to travel to France just to see this talent in action. In just two years, Wembanyama has gone from “the best talent in Europe” to the “top player in the world” that the entire league wants. He is 7’2 tall but can do everything on the court-shooting without dead ends, movement Create offensive opportunities by themselves following the ball, pass the ball above the average level, and have no blocking ability at all… Wembanyama is like a cheat that came out of the 2K game. When the development of Emoni Bates gradually stagnated in the same period, Wembanyama Constantly growing in the French league, it is no wonder that the teams at the bottom of the league almost all try their best to compete for the No. 1 pick with only 14% chance. The match, and the whole broadcast of the team’s matches in Ligue 1, shows how mouth-watering Wembanyama’s talent is.

Indiscriminate offensive weapon, top defensive talent
As the position of modern basketball is gradually blurred, and more and more teams are putting up “five wings” or “three guards” without considering height so that the team can maintain a certain speed of movement and scoring ability, Wembanyama What it will bring to the NBA is to maximize the “omnipotence” of modern basketball. First, on the offensive end, a 7-foot-4 center has shooting ability with almost no dead ends. Because of his height and wingspan, Wembanyama is almost unstoppable to shorter defenders, and he can also use his adept dribble and step back to create when facing players of similar height. shot. Considering that the only players of similar height in the NBA today are Boban Marjanovic and Kristaps Porzingis, Wembanyama is pretty much open for shots. In addition, Wembanyama’s use of the dynamics of the court and his own basketball IQ is also very good. Whether it is as a pick-and-roller in Pick-N-Roll, or following taking off the rebound and advancing forward, Wembanyama’s dribbling and passing ability are excellent. Being above average also makes defenders have to pay attention to this big man almost from the moment he gets the defensive rebound, and we can also expect Wembanyama to adapt to the rhythm of the NBA game and slowly increase his organizational ability , can play a function similar to Jokic on the court, not only scoring in singles on his own, but also being able to effectively link the offense of the whole team.
Defensive ability is another reason why Wembanyama makes NBA scouts love it. Compared with players of similar height and position, Wembanyama is top-notch in terms of overall mobility and defensive lateral movement ability, which also makes him It is not easy to become the target of the opponent. We often see that the center such as Rudy Gobert is often pulled outside by the opponent’s tactics, so as to create scoring opportunities for the faster and more flexible defenders, but what Wembanyama said Having the ability to move will make it almost impossible for us to see this kind of scene. In addition, Wembanyama is also very clever in the use of his wingspan, coupled with his excellent defensive awareness, he can be seen in almost every Ligue 1 game to fan out the opponent’s ball, and he also masters the timing of interceptions It’s very good. Regardless, Wembanyama has all the makings of a good defender, and if properly developed, we might see a defensive lock.
