It’s been a long time since there has been this much buzz about an incoming rookie, but the basketball world is waiting with bated breath for Victor Wembanyama to make his NBA debut. While he shouldn’t be expected to immediately turn the franchise around in one day like David Robinson and Tim Duncan did (who, relatively speaking, were full grown men when they entered the league at 24 and 21, respectively), there are still plenty more intriguing reasons to watch him than just win total.
Ben Taylor of NBA.com‘s “Think Basketball” series recently did an edition on Wemby’s unique skill set, and while he has a lot of skills, he has one asset that can’t be taught, and that’s his mere presence on the court and the range in which he can create an impact in short order thanks to his long frame and relative agility for a 7’3.
