Several times per game, Victor Wembanyama distorts the reality of what we believe is possible on a basketball court.
He did it repeatedly by scoring 31 points with 16 rebounds and three blocks against the Grizzlies on Friday night, and this game was at the top of that list.
Even though we talk about Wembanyama’s growing comfort and offensive game, it is on defense that he makes the most difference. This piece summarizes the impact he now has to that end.
As excellent as Wembanyama and Devin Vassell (27 points), it was Jaren Jackson Jr. who made the biggest play of the evening, hitting the game-winner to cap off his 28-point night.
