Le jeune joueur NBA français des San Antonio Spurs, Victor Wembanyama

Since his arrival in the NBA, Victor Wembanyama has been the subject of conversation and debate.

For example, a recent prediction by an influential American media outlet led some observers to wonder about the future of the league.

And to think that this was probably just the beginning. The “Wembymania” should most certainly continue in the coming months in the NBA, where Victor Wembanyama has no intention of slowing down his dizzying progression.

Impressed by his first steps on the pitch, fans are now wondering what new levels the young French center will reach next season.

Victor Wembanyama at the heart of a major debate in the NBA

Elected Rookie of the Year unanimously following his first campaign in the North American league, Wembanyama can now aim for other prestigious trophies.

So, in addition to that of Defender of the Year, which he seems destined for according to the experts, that of Most Improved Player could also go to him.

A scenario already anticipated across the Atlantic by ESPN, which makes some fans grind their teeth:

ESPN is already predicting that Victor Wembanyama will win the Most Improved Player award next year.

If that happens, the league will have truly abandoned the essence of the award.

He was the #1 pick and was already surrounded by huge expectations, and finished last season in the top 10 players

It’s been a matter of debate for several years now, in fact, who wins the MIP award. For example, the crowning of Ja Morant or Tyrese Maxey remains controversial to this day.

Could Wemby change that? Some believe so:

But that’s what’s scary about him and what makes him a generational talent.

He has the opportunity to push the boundaries of the term “elite player” in the league.

It’s unimaginable to think that he can still improve, but it’s also inevitable.

Last year was only his first season in the United States. That’s why he’s an alien. When the Spurs start winning, he’s even going to be announced MVP.

Already seen as one of the best players in the league at the end of last season, could Victor Wembanyama still apply for the title of MIP next year? Obviously, that would in any case annoy part of the NBA community.
