Defenses aren’t the only thing stopping Wembanyama from being a dominant scorer

The San Antonio Spurs are flying high after getting off to their best start in eight years, with superstar Victor Wembanyama playing a huge role in their early success. Even so, his numbers have dipped as the season has worn on and with him now injured.

He went from averaging 30-plus points per game over the first five games in the season to averaging 26.2 points per game now. That may be cause for concern for some, but perhaps it shouldn't be.

After all, the Spurs having so many offensive options has resulted in Wembanyama not always having to do the heavy lifting offensively.
