Fans think it’s wild that he’s already rated this high! What do you think? Too high or nah?
Wembanyama joined elite company by becoming only the sixth unanimous Rookie of the Year in four decades alongside names like Ralph Sampson and David Robinson. He also became part of an exclusive club within Spurs history joining Robinson and Tim Duncan as No.1 picks who won this award too!
During his rookie year he made history by being first to achieve over1500 points along with significant numbers across other stats including rebounds assists steals blocks & three-pointers! His stellar performance continued internationally where he helped France secure silver at Paris Olympics last summer!
We think fans have mixed feelings about these ratings but can’t deny his exceptional talent!
