Victor Wembanyama logically arouses enormous enthusiasm in the United States. With his two demonstrations against Team Ignite, the young French talent confirmed his immense talent on American soil. With his simply unique profile, the 17-year-old kid is the dream of NBA franchises.
And players have not escaped this phenomenon. Whether LeBron James highly complimented him, others already want to see him in action in the League. The biggest stars have thus evoked his future arrival in the NBA: Kevin Durant, Giannis Antetokounmpo or Stephen Curry.
“The League will really be in danger when he arrives. I really want to see how he will evolve. We really feel impatience with his arrival in the League, we will see”, told KD.
“He has a chance to become one of the best – not at his age, not in Europe – but one of the best in the history of this game. We’ve never seen someone like that before. I think it’s a good challenge for everyone in the League.
Seeing a guy over 2m20 who can shoot overhead, dribble like a point guard, block shots and run fast down the pitch… We’re going to have to be ready for this kid. So it’s going to be really good.” has warned Giannis Antetokounmpo.
“He’s solid, really solid. Looks like a player created in 2K! It’s the dream of all point guards who want to go over 2 meters, there’s a feeling of cheat-code. Anyway, I have seen a solid talent, great to watch”, thus summarized Stephen Curry.
Without having played a single minute in the NBA, Victor Wembanyama has already earned the respect of huge stars. Of course, this is an honor… but also a challenge. Because as much to say it immediately, it will be expected at the turn on the floors.
