Victor Wembanyama: Shining star for San Antonio Spurs in gloomy season
NBAThursday, 21 March 2024 at 14:00
The San Antonio Spurs' young sensation Victor Wembanyama is going through one great season by all accounts. The 20-year-old is often regarded as the most highly-rated young player currently playing in the competition.
Wembanyama recently became the first player in the history of the NBA to register more than 200 blocks, more than 100 three-pointers and more than 75 steals in a single season.
To achieve all of that at the age of just 20 is an incredible feat in itself but to achieve all of this while playing in a team that has struggled throughout the campaign like the Spurs have done makes his achievement look even more incredible.
Spurs became one of the first teams this season to go out of the race for the playoffs as they are placed at the bottom of the table in the Western Conference with just 15 wins and 54 defeats in the ongoing campaign.
Despite that, Wembanyama is registering 20.7 points per game which is the best by a Spurs player this season. To go with that, he is also contributing 10.4 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game.
His most impressive outing this season came in the match against the Phoenix Suns in November where he registered 38 points to go with 10 rebounds and two assists.
