One of the novelties that generates the most expectations for the 2023-24 season of the NBA is the debut of Victor Wembanyama. The Frenchman is 2.24m tall, has skill, good reading and is the biggest promise since the premiere of LeBron James.
Who is Victor Wembanyama
Victor is French, he is 19 years old and was number 1 in the 2023 NBA Draft. He measures 2.24 meters, but despite such a height, he has a lot of flexibility with the ball and good movements, as demonstrated in Las Vegas.

He did sign for ASVEL in June 2021. He has a three-year contract to make the leap to the First Division of basketball in his country. After playing in Metropolitans 92, he was number one in the 2023 Draft to reach San Antonio.
The Golden State Warriors star went to the center jump and accepted the challenge of facing the 32 centimeters taller Frenchman.
He also did very well in the French youth team. He was one of the great figures in the 2019 U-16 Eurobasket, where he won the silver medal, a prize repeated at the 2021 Latvia Youth World Cup.

In that context, the NBA published a video to ‘sell’ the image of a rising figure like Victor Wembanyama.
