French phenom Victor Wembanyama did not mince his words Monday when sharing his thoughts on G League star Scoot Henderson ahead of their anticipated two-game series in Nevada this week.
The 7-foot-4 prospect is widely viewed as a generational talent whose expected to go No. 1 overall in the 2023 NBA draft. Wembanyama will look to prove he deserves that status in front of NBA scouts by leading France’s Metropolitans 92 into two preseason games against the G League Unite and Henderson, a widely projected top-5 pick in next year’s draft.
During a session with reporters, Wembanyama fielded a question about facing Henderson and told reporters he labeled the standout guard as his favorite player in their class.
