Denver Nuggets head coach Michael Malone has heaped praise on San Antonio Spurs rookie sensation Victor Wembanyama, hailing him as the future of the NBA.

Wembanyama’s remarkable performance in a recent game, where he came tantalizingly close to a quadruple-double with 23 points, 15 rebounds, 9 blocks, and 8 assists, has drawn acclaim from the Nuggets championship coach.

“He’s the future of the NBA. We’re watching the ascension of the next great player in the NBA,” Malone said about Wembanyama, per Vinny Benedetto.

Malone’s glowing endorsement of Wembanyama underscores the immense potential and impact the young French center possesses.

Throughout the season, Wembanyama has been a force to be reckoned with on the court, showcasing a unique blend of scoring prowess, rebounding tenacity, defensive prowess, and playmaking ability.

His impressive stat line of 21.2 points, 10.5 rebounds, 3.7 assists, and 3.5 blocks per game reflects his all-around impact and burgeoning talent.
