WHAT Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant & Giannis Antetokounmpo THINK OF 7'4 Victor Wembanyama. Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant and Giannis Antetokounmpo talked about what it is like playing against the 7'4 Victor Wembanyama, and they talked about Victor Wembanyama's skills, game and future in the NBA.

► Victor Wembanyama, Wemby is a French professional basketball player for the San Antonio Spurs of the National Basketball Association (NBA). Considered one of the best basketball prospects in a generation, he was selected first overall by the Spurs in the 2023 NBA draft. With a listed height of 7 feet 4 inches (2.24 metres), Victor Wembanyama is tied with Boban Marjanović as the tallest active NBA player.

Victor Wembanyama began his professional career with Nanterre 92 of the LNB Pro A in 2019. Two years later, he moved to ASVEL and won the Pro A title in his only season with the team. In the 2022–23 season, Victor Wembanyama signed with Metropolitans 92 and became the youngest player to win the Pro A MVP award, while earning Pro A Best Defender honors and leading the league in scoring, rebounds and blocks. He was named an LNB All-Star twice, winning the All-Star Game MVP once, and was a three-time Pro A Best Young Player.

Victor Wembanyama also plays for the French national team. At the youth level, he led his team to two silver medals, including at the 2021 FIBA Under-19 World Cup, where he set the FIBA record for blocks per game in a single tournament.

Victor Wembanyama is widely regarded as one of the greatest NBA prospects in a generation. Many publications called him the most anticipated newcomer to the league since LeBron James in 2003. He emerged as one of Europe's top prospects at age 14 and was viewed by analysts as a potential first overall pick in his draft class by age 16. During his final season before becoming eligible for the 2023 NBA draft, he was the consensus number-one pick in draft projections. NBA commissioner Adam Silver said the league would pay "particular attention" to tanking for the 2023 draft, due to the possibility of acquiring a "once-in-a-generation player" in the draft.

Measured at 7 feet 3+1⁄2 inches (2.22 m) bare foot, with an estimated 8-foot (2.4 m) wingspan, Victor Wembanyama entered the NBA as one of the league's tallest players, although his height has raised questions about his durability. He often plays on the perimeter and has exceptional mobility and skills for his size, with the ability to handle and shoot the ball like a guard. Victor Wembanyama is a capable three-point shooter and his jump shot is difficult to block because of his length. He is a productive scorer in the paint, with soft touch, a variety of post moves, and excels in the pick and roll. Defensively, he is an outstanding shot-blocker due to his length and anticipation, and his fluidity allows him to guard smaller players. His thin frame and lack of strength have been labelled as weaknesses and encourage opponents to use a physical style of play against him. For this reason, he can struggle to box out while rebounding and to defend post-ups.

Although some analysts have noted the unprecedented nature of his game, others have compared Victor Wembanyama to Wilt Chamberlain and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. ESPN draft analyst Mike Schmitz compared his defensive impact to Rudy Gobert and his shooting potential to Kristaps Porziņģis, albeit with better ball-handling and passing skills. John Hollinger of The Athletic described his game as a combination of Ralph Sampson, Porziņģis and Dirk Nowitzki. Victor Wembanyama models parts of his game after Kevin Durant and Giannis Antetokounmpo.
