Being isolated in open space with a 7’3″‘ youngster dribbling between his knees and sizing you up is a rare type of basketball agony. With a one-leg running jumper from beyond the three-point line, Victor Wembanyama has delighted both scouts and viewers.

Leading his club, Metropolitans 92, to a 78-69 triumph with 33 points, 12 rebounds, four assists, and three blocks against Limogues, he mesmerised the fans at Palais de Sports Marcel-Cerdan. Full of spectators and scouts, the arena burst in cheers for Wembanyama’s unusual abilities.

Wembanyama’s last season in France has become a spectacle following great performances against the NBA’s G League Ignite squad, bringing comparisons to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and garnering compliments from LeBron James. Wembanyama is certain to be the top choice in the forthcoming NBA draft with his mix of height, ability, and adaptability.

Growing stardom of Wembanyama has turned Metropolitans 92 a must-watch squad, turning the budding phenomenon into a worldwide sensation. Knowing he is almost but not yet, the basketball scene awaits his next action with great expectation.
