Victor Wembanyama

Draft Notes

Wembanyama is an intriguing prospect due to his sheer size and length. He’s rail thin at this point in his career and is far form a sure thing but he’s got quick feet, good hands and good coordination.

He stands out on the defensive end, really changing the game with his length in the lane. He’s quick off his feet and covers ground well, making him a lethal weak side shot blocker. This is an area of his game where he clearly knows his role and does his job well.

On offense Victor has the makings of a versatile package, although he’s still very raw. He’s got good shooting form and isn’t afraid to try to stretch out the 3pt line. Most of his points come off of lobs and dunks but the rest of his offensive package is starting to be put on display. He’s got good hands, which is half the battle.
