Victor Wembanyama is the most exciting prospect the NBA has seen in 20 years, and he’s got an 2.44m wingspan which gives him incredible athletic ability.
He is the most anticipated player drafted into the NBA since LeBron James and from fingertip to fingertip he measures 2.44m. If he were to stand in the centre of a Sydney train carriage he could almost touch both sides.
Not bad for a teenager in his first game in arguably the most athletic and talent-laden sporting league in the world. “I’ve never seen, no one has ever seen, anyone as tall as he is, but as fluid and as graceful as he is on the floor,” James said. To prepare his team for Wembanyama’s athleticism, Mavericks player development coach God Shammgod wore paddles on his arms ahead of the team’s round one clash with the Spurs.
