Victor Wembanyama is a monster, no one in the NBA will deny it. If his offensive potential is unlimited, it is especially defensively that he rules the court.

Moreover, a mind-blowing statistic shows that he is truly in another dimension at this level.

Victor Wembanyama will have a certain amount of pressure during the upcoming season.

Indeed, during the Olympic Games final against Team USA, he showed the world that he was ready to stand up to the biggest superstars in the league.

After a first year in the form of adaptation to life in the NBA, he will have to make the Spurs progress in the Western Conference.

His management has also made the effort to surround him with experienced players, which could free him from a certain weight.

First, he will have at his side one of the best point guards of all time in the person of Chris Paul.

He is aging, certainly, but still capable of finding a good pass and dictating the right tempo. Similarly, Harrison Barnes is not flamboyant but very reliable.

Victor Wembanyama’s madness in terms of counterattacks

While this does not guarantee him a place in the playoffs, the French team’s center will in any case start as the favorite for the title of Defender of the Year.

He is already supported by a legend at this level, but also by players like D’Angelo Russell. And a pretty crazy statistic about him will strengthen his case.

If Bam Adebayo and Victor Wembanyama make as many blocks next year as they did this year, then Wembanyama will have more blocks in his career by the end of the season.

Bam Adebayo is considered one of the best defenders of his generation, as a versatile player who can take care of a point guard or a center.

But in just 2 seasons, if he continues at his pace, Victor Wembanyama could have more blocks than the Heat’s center in 8, that’s to say the phenomenal level he displays! The stat is funny, impressive, but it takes nothing away from Bam’s qualities.

Bam is proof that protecting your rim is about more than just blocking.

Victor Wembanyama could very well become the greatest blocker of all time if he keeps up this pace for over a decade.

But with his boundless ambition, he’ll probably want to do more.
