More on this storyline
At 7-foot-3 with an eight-foot wingspan, Wembanyama was known for his incredible measurables and fluidity entering the league. However, fellow Frenchman and former Defensive Player of the Year Joakim Noah pointed to another attribute when describing the 20-year-old's impact. “I think his best skill is his intelligence,” Noah told Tommy Alter on The Young Man and the Three. “You can’t take away the fact that he’s 7-foor-4, he can jump to the sky, he can jump to the moon. He’s a hell of a player. His mobility, you can’t teach those things. Then you add in his IQ, him going to sleep early, reading books, all those things that we learn about him. I was blessed to meet his family. Big shout out to his mom and his pops as well for raising just like a good human, he’s solid all around. I think defensively, obviously, when you think you have an open three and Wemby is around, you might think you’re open when you’re not open.” -via Clutch Points / November 18, 2024

Fred Katz: Victor Wembanyama isn't just blocking shots. He's also altering them at a potentially historic rate. Opponents are shooting 37% on dunks/layups when he's the nearest defender. Would be easily the lowest number for a qualifying player since Second Spectrum began tracking that stat in 2013-14. -via Bluesky / November 18, 2024
