For his premiere in front of his audience, Victor Wembanyama delighted the AT&T Center in San Antonio. Impact on both sides of the pitch, spectacular actions, the Frenchman once again impressed everyone.
The full stats sheet for the match is here.
His first pre-season game against Chet Holmgren’s Thunder had already laid the foundations, but Victor Wembanyama added another piece to the hype machine of his young NBA career. Sure, it’s only pre-season, sure it’s only the Heat’s D-team opposite, but the level of ease at our national Wemby is already scary enough. The range of its arsenal is no less so. If his 3-point shot still needs to be improved, the interior showed that he can score from anywhere. Big jumper off the dribble, penalty on the transition, huge tomar on Thomas Bryant’s face, every aerial ball (even bad) can turn into an alley-oop. Wemby is an alien, an alien who we will savor every minute of on the court this season.

23 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 blocks (!), all while shooting 10/15. Oh yes… in 22 minutes. Not human, we tell you. If we nitpick a little, we can note the 4 ball losses but it also goes with the role of the man and his ability to create, whether for himself or others. We already love his great connection with Devin Vassell (also excellent with 21 points including 6/7 from a distance) but also Jeremy Sochan. The Texan youth will bring smiles once again this season with Wemby to enhance it.

In the end, a victory for Spurs but that’s a bit of a shock because it still counts for nothing. On the other hand, the Victor Wembanyama train continues to welcome people and rightly so because he already seems ready to destroy everything in the NBA. We already have the first class ticket for Wemby-mania and there is still room in the carriage for those who are hot. The show has only just begun!
