In the 22-23 season, the league entered the sprint stage, the teams have played 55 games, and the Timberwolves and Green Army dominate the top spot in the West and the East, respectively, but I am not talking about them, but the Spurs, who have a mediocre but eye-catching record. Why? Because they have Wembanyama, a player who is known to have a talent at an all-time level. This kid was already praised as a genius before entering the NBA, compared to James back then, even more exaggerated, height and arm span are simply the perfect portrayal of basketball, and he can also dribble and break through, he is simply born for basketball!
James's talent is already historic, but talent is just the beginning, the key is whether it can be transformed into strength. James has been writing legends, and after 21 seasons in his career, he can still play the statistics of his peak, setting countless records, which will not be surpassed by future generations. The league has been looking for James's ** people, including Zion, Wiggins, Brother Alphabet, etc., but no one can really inherit James's legend. However, don't worry, the future may be just around the corner, and Wembanyama is on the rise.
In the race for the best rookie, Wembanyama and Holmgren were in the spotlight. At the beginning of the season, Holmgren's stats were not inferior to Wembanyama's, but as the season progressed, the gap gradually widened. Wembanyama's stats are even better, not only averaging 20 per game6 points 101 rebound 31 assist, shooting 465%, and it has a clear advantage when aligning. For example, in the game with the Thunder, Wembanyama had 24 points, 12 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 blocks, beating Holmgren. The best rookie is none other than Wembanyama!
Compared to Wembanyama and James, the stats of their rookie seasons are even more shocking. Wembanyama averages 206 points 101 rebound 31 assist, shooting 465 percent, compared to 20 in James' rookie season9 points 55 rebounds and 50 assists on 41 shooting7%。What's even more striking is that Wembanyama's playing time was limited to 28 by Popovich4 minutes, while James averaged 39 per game in his rookie season5 minutes, Wembanyama's stats are still better. This kid is really a natural superstar!
Wembanyama not only had strong stats, but also played a brilliant performance in the game. defeated the Suns, he contributed 38 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks to lead the team to a big victory. Against the Timberwolves, 29 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 blocks, although he lost, he completely exploded the twin towers on the opposite side. Unfortunately, he lost to the Lakers, with 30 points, 13 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals and 6 blocks, and did not fall behind against Brother Soaring Thick Eyebrows (37+10). In the game against the Raptors, he became the first player in NBA history to score at least 25 points, dished out at least 10 blocks, and made at least two three-pointers in a single game.
Don't underestimate Wembanyama, as long as he stays away from injury, he will become a superstar at all-time level. In the interview, Wembanyama said: "It's a great accomplishment to be an All-Star, especially since I'm still in my rookie season, and honestly, I'm focused on trying to help the team win, make the team better, and of course missing out on the All-Star team motivates me." Such an attitude and strength make people look forward to Wembanyama's future, and he may really be able to become the successor of James and continue the superstar legend.
