Bleacher Report (DR) / NBA (DR)
Announced as a player with immense potential, Victor Wembanyama is accompanied by a hype such as has rarely been observed in history. One of the only ones to have approached it is a certain Zion Williamson and it did not take long for a debate between the two to be launched. The result was final.
Adrian Wojnarowski explained it just before the lottery, Victor Wembanyama is practically one of a kind. In addition to displaying a bewildering combination of technical skills and athletic dimensions, the pivot is surrounded by an absolutely staggering hype with the media, fans and even players. The compliments signed LeBron James or Kevin Durant are proof of this.
In the end, even the King may not have enjoyed such media attention before his draft when he was a freak in high school. The only one to come close to Wemby in this area is perhaps Zion Williamsonvery scrutinized before his arrival in pro via the first pick in 2019. This is also why an Internet user threw a big stone in the pond recently, about the two young interiors:
Wembanyama or Zion? The final verdict of the fans

Who would you rather build your franchise around?
On paper, fans of the New Orleans big man might argue that he’s the safer option: after all, he’s proven when he’s dressed that he’s one of the best players in the league . The concern is that he is only too rarely seen that he has only played 114 games in four years… If Wemby has yet to take his first steps in the US, it is as much to say that he inspires much more of trust to Internet users.
Dude on left hasn’t played much so is this even a question? ????????

The guy on the left hasn’t played much, the question doesn’t even arise.
Wembanyama, because he’ll actually play.

Wembanyama, because he is really going to play.
Victor Wembanyama is no stranger to physical glitches and his frail build could play tricks on him, but we are still a long way from Zion Williamson’s repeated absences. No wonder the Frenchman is seen as far more reliable than the Pelicans’ interior…
