Basketball prospect Victor Wembanyama’s willingness to play defence will help him transition to the NBA more effectively and star, according to former superstar Chris Bosh.
Wembanyama is the hottest prospect in the 2023 draft class and he could well be the most promising young player since LeBron James entered the NBA 20 years prior in 2003. The Frenchman impressed during his first appearance in the United States, scoring 37 points – including seven three-pointers from 11 attempts – and registering five blocks as his club Metropolitans 92 faced the G League Ignite.
The 7’4” 18-year-old - who has an eight foot wingspan paired with the shooting ability of a point guard - is the surefire number one pick and teams are reportedly going to battle for the chance to pick him in the NBA draft lottery. His size means Wembanyama is a fearsome shot-blocker and rim protector while he is essentially unstoppable as a perimeter shooter.
