Victor Wembanyama impressed even the biggest stars of the NBA with his performances in the two exhibition games against the G League Ignite.
The 18-year-old French forward/center who is expected be the number one draft pick next summer averaged 36.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 4.5 blocks over the two games in Las Vegas.
Lakers superstar LeBron James said he is ‘more like an alien.’ Kevin Durant was also asked about the biggest prospect in the world.
“Evolution of the game has taken us this far. We got 7’5″ dude who’s able to do everything on the court. He’s inspiring to a lot of people,” the Nets superstar said of Wembanyama.
“I heard a comment he said somebody compared him to few players in the league, he was like ‘I think I do myself disservice if I compare myself to one or two players. I want to take from everybody.’ I thought that was such a profound statement, made me a big fan of his.
“The league’s really in trouble when he comes in. I want to see how it plays out. Everybody’s been excited with his arrival to the league. We’ll see what happens.”
