The Nuggets avoided their first three-game losing streak of the season on Thursday night, going into Washington and beating the Wizards, 107-97, behind a career-high 35 points from the red-hot Peyton Watson. But the points don’t tell the full story; along with the 35, P-Wat hit 6 threes, blocked 4 shots, and had 2 steals. The only other player to put up that stat line in NBA history is Victor Wembanyama.
Wemby, of course, is a 7-foot-5-inch alien who may be one of the best shot blockers and all-around defenders of all-time already, who also happens to shoot over 40% from three-point range.
