Victor Wembanyama is putting the NBA world on notice.

The 18-year-old French player has hoops fans dreaming of a transcendent star after his performance in Tuesday night’s exhibition between his Metropolitans 92 and Scoot Henderson’s G League Ignite. Wembanyama displayed an unprecedented skill set for a 7-foot-4 prospect by draining seven three-pointers and swatting five blocks.

As one anonymous NBA general manager told ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, teams are already salivating over the opportunity to draft Wembanyama next year.

“It feels like last night will start a race to the bottom like we’ve never seen.”

Wembanyama dazzled viewers by scoring 37 points in Nevada, his first game in the United States. While Henderson also validated the hype with 28 points, the big man made a convincing case to warrant the No. 1 spot in the 2023 NBA Draft.

The hype is only going to grow. Wojnarowski and Jonathan Givony reported a lofty comparison from a general manager “with a chance to contend” for the top pick.

“He’s a 7-foot-4 [Kevin] Durant who blocks shots — and he’s not even close to what he’s going to be,” the GM said. “He will be the most hyped player since LeBron [James].”

Woj and Givony examined how Wembanyama could impact the upcoming NBA season. The chance to select Henderson as a worthy consolation prize could further motivate tanking in 2022-23.
