Representing the Metropolitans’92 in the LNB Pro A, Wembanyama is averaging 22.6 points and 9.8 rebounds with 4.8 blocks a game. The skills that the center carries are something the fans seem to be surprised by. James in an interview mentioned, “Everybody’s been a unicorn over the last few years, but he [Victor Wembanyama] is more like an alien. No one has ever seen anyone as tall as he is, but as fluid and as graceful as he is out on the floor. His ability to put the ball on the floor, shoot step-back jumpers out of the post, step back 3s. He’s for sure a generational talent”.
