Wembanyama’s stats alone put this tall player in the NBA record book when he became the second rookie in history to have at least 5 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 5 steals and 5 blocks in a match .

Another statistic that helps Spurs’ young talent go down in history is that two consecutive games had 5 steals and 5 blocks, something only the legendary Michael Jordan had previously done in the 90s of the last century.

“I feel like his growth ceiling is limitless. It seems he can do anything on the field without much difficulty even though he is very young ,” LeBron James said about Wembanyama.

“This is not only the result of natural talent but also the result of practice. I feel he has spent a lot of time with enthusiasm and passion to achieve his current skill set. 

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Wemby is an extremely special player. It’s as simple as that.”

Taking advantage of his extremely long arms and great height, rookie San Antonio Spurs is leading the entire NBA in average blocks per game, creating a valuable weapon not to mention excellent offensive ability.

Even scarier for the league is that Wemby just played his rookie season, so like LeBron James said, the French bigman’s development ceiling is limitless.
