Wembanyama has been a force in his rookie season

San Antonio rookie Victor Wembanyama has been everything he was advertised to be when the Spurs took him with the No. 1 overall pick in last summer’s draft.

It seems like a long time ago that the 7-4 Frenchman made his NBA debut against the Mavericks on opening night in San Antonio. His progress has been constant and consistent as Wembanyama has averaged better than 20 points and 10 rebounds pretty much all season. And he’s doing it in just 28.4 minutes per game, roughly 10 minutes less per night than Luka Donu010diu0107 plays.

The 10-block triple-double Wembanyama had on Monday at Toronto served as a defining moment of his young career.
