Victor Wembanyama is embracing life at center for the Spurs

VICTOR WEMBANYAMA SAW the play developing before he even crossed half court.

He had Tre Jones and Julian Champagnie to his right. On his left, Jeremy Sochan controlled the ball while Devin Vassell ran to the wing. Once he entered the frontcourt, Sochan dribbled toward Vassell before cutting back toward the center of the court, where he handed the ball off to the San Antonio Spurs' 7-foot-4 rookie sensation at the top of the key.

Wembanyama, setting up the two-man game that has become so effective for the Spurs of late, immediately fired the ball to Vassell.
