Victor Wembanyama, a rising star in the NBA who is making waves with the San Antonio Spurs right now, has a younger brother named Oscar. Oscar, a member of one of France’s most successful youth basketball teams, ASVEL Basket, was born on March 18, 2007.
Oscar Wembanyama stands out at 2.07 meters, which is astounding considering he is only 16 years old. Oscar has steady shooting talent and is a great dunker, just like his brother. Notably, Oscar made the move from handball to basketball just two years ago and has only been practicing for that long.
It is unclear if Oscar Wembanyama will participate in the NBA Draft in 2026. Due to his lack of experience playing basketball, his skill set is still somewhat basic, and he has not yet realised his maximum potential. Oscar needs to keep working hard if he wants to make it as a professional athlete.
On the other hand, several players have made a name for themselves in the NBA despite having a later start. For example, Joel Embiid spent his whole childhood honing his volleyball skills before making the transition to basketball when he was fifteen years old. If Oscar Wembanyama continues to work on his game, he may be able to enter the 2026 NBA Draft. A few people think he should take a year off to hone his abilities before trying to follow in his brother’s NBA footsteps.
