The future looks bright for Victor Wembanyama, who has the potential to destroy everything on the Spurs side.

Observers are under his spell, including an ESPN specialist, who makes a very clear assessment of the Frenchman.

After winning the rookie of the year and a second place for the DPOY, Victor Wembanyama returns to the NBA with greater ambitions for next season.

We imagine that the goal will be to reach a place in the playoffs with the addition of a Chris Paul to the roster, and why not to win the title of best defender of the year.

It must be said that it is possible.

Can Wemby win the trophy at just 21 years old? We want to say yes. His 2m24 are very useful and the talent is there, Victor having finished best blocker in the league upon his arrival across the Atlantic.

ESPN journalist Tim MacMahon agrees, impressed by the Frenchman’s defensive prowess.

Wembanyama still praised defensively
Appearing on a podcast with Brian Windhorst, here is what MacMahon reveals:

Tim MacMahon on Victor Wembanyama: “The thing with Victor is that you can naturally expect him to be the most defensively dominant player in the league for the next 12 or 15 years, he can be the most defensively dominant player in history.

I’ve talked to people who agree with that.”

Victor Wembanyama honest: “The only Olympic sport in which I would have a chance is…

It seems quite credible, at least if injuries don’t spoil the party. We don’t see how Wembanyama won’t win this trophy in the years to come, especially since the competition is not that numerous.

There is still Anthony Davis or Bam Adebyo, but Wemby is already the favorite for observers.

MacMahon continued to bring up Wemby’s case afterwards, especially since it is his offensive game that could pose a problem in the future.

MacMahon: “The question is how powerful he will be offensively, and what he can become in that role. We talked about it, he is not a 7’2″ guard.

If he can be content to be an interior with some skills as a guard and he can use them selectively, then he has a real chance to be special on that side of the floor as well.”

The questions are still numerous for Victor Wembanyama, although the talent is there.

Enough to destroy everything at the Spurs and pocket multiple trophies during his career? The beginning of an answer expected in 2025.
