The Phoenix Suns had all the hopes attached to a victory after the news flashed about the return of Devin Booker. The Unbothered 36 right back on the hardwood, and with this, the fans awaited a victory after a previous loss against the San Antonio Spurs. However, Victor Wembanyama is much better than KD was today, and KD helped the rookie prove it.

Though the Suns tried to cover up the deficit in the second half, it was too late to witness a turnaround of events. It was indeed an opportunity for the “famous” rookie to claim yet another highlight play since he entered the league. However, scoring over his idol is the news of the night.

Wemby outshines Kevin Durant with two consecutive wins

The Suns were lacking in the first half of the game, with the Spurs in the lead in both quarters. With Victor Wembanyama registering a whopping 38 points and 10 rebounds, it seems like the rookie is gaining momentum now. Although his performance took a dip in the season opener against the Dallas Mavericks, the 7?4 Frenchman is here and here to stay.

With previous comparisons between KD and Wemby, one could easily bet on KD given his experience and stellar back-to-back performances. However, the two consecutive losses against his ?fan turned pupil turned rival? seem like a big shock for the star to digest. The one thing that’s common between them is that Kevin Durant has a reputation as a player who is difficult to guard, and Wemby is building one.

Creating his own moves, defending from both courts, having an 8-foot wide wingspan, and, oh, the height?well,? all the advantages integrated into one?and that’s the next big thing for the NBA. Well, this statement is still not enough to describe the next most hyped prospect after LeBron James. However, the comparison with Kevin won’t stand for long because the rookie is learning new things about the NBA every other day.
