Entering the season, many expected San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama to make the leap toward being a top-5 NBA player. He has done just that thus far, but how he has made the leap has been surprising.
Despite leading all centers in 3-point attempts last season, he has largely abandoned taking threes, attempting just 3.8 threes per game. Taking five fewer threes is a big change, but he has replaced those shots with more efficient ones inside the paint.
Wemby ranks sixth in the NBA in points in 2-point attempts per game, averaging a staggering 13.
