But as we know, there are many factors that go into the making of a great player. Victor works hard to hone develop his game. He and those who have been with him since the beginning have gone to great lengths to make sure Wemby adds weight at a healthy pace in alignment with his growth. Wemby’s move from France to the NBA placed him in from of some the greatest players the game has ever known. In a previous era, a 7’3” center could have made a career posting up in the paint, but today’s NBA has changed the game. And Victor is now at the forefront of that transformation. Centers now have to be able to shoot and defend at the three-point line, and Wembanyama can do both. But he has actually begun shooting further back, forcing defenders to cover him from any point beyond the mid-court line. This allows him to either take wide-open threes from the logo or use his length to race past a defender. Once free, he’s clear for take off with a dunk, or if covered, dish to an open teammate. Victor is changing the game, and this video shows how he warms up his three-point game.

This is an exciting time to be a Spurs fan. Seeing just how adept Victor Wembanyama is at the game while still learning, growing, and shaping his skillset, it truly remarkable. Spurs play the Indiana Pacers in Paris one more time today, in just a few hours. Victor had a 30-point game Thursday on his native soil. Let’s hope he continues to shine. Go Spurs Go!
