Victor Wembanyama is still a young player, he has only played one season in the NBA, but it is clear that he already has everything to become a legend in the league. Moreover, he has just received a huge honor on this theme across the Atlantic.

The second phase of the Wembanyama era will start this Wednesday for the Spurs, and they will not really have the right to make mistakes.

With choices 4 and 8 during the Draft, the leaders will have to target the complementary profile(s) with the French pivot, and that’s good, several interesting avenues seem to excite the supporters.

And if the rumors are true, they could even sit down at the negotiating table with Atlanta in order to recover the 1st pick for the second consecutive year, and thus select another Frenchman.

What is certain is that Wemby will expect sporting progress from next season whatever happens, and this will necessarily involve strong decisions, risk-taking and bets.

Rashad McCants puts Wemby in the Top 10 all-time!

While waiting to follow this, Victor Wembanyama has just received a fairly incredible honor across the Atlantic. To mark the start of the offseason, Gilbert Arenas and his friends decided to hold an “all-time” Draft, with all the best players in the history of this sport. And as crazy as it may seem, the superstar of the Blues is in the Top 10

Rashad McCants : You know, it’s difficult to defend on a boy who is capable of playing anywhere on the field. And Wembanyama can defend in all positions, he does it frequently and very well.

The only worry I have is his hypothetical duel against Shaquille O’Neal. But I think that in this Draft I will be able to select a good butcher. Wemby fits into the project I imagine.

In 9th position in this “all-time” Draft, Rashad McCants decided to select Victor Wembanyama, before legends like Tim Duncan, Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Larry Bird and Bill Russell.

This shows if he has impressed since his beginnings and if some think he is capable of one day reaching the top of the hierarchy.

The only downside is that this choice is part of an incomprehensible dynamic.

Because before the French pivot, the former University of North Carolina chose Tracy McGrady in 6th position…

And then, we must be lucid, if Victor Wembanyama has the potential for an all-time Top 10, he is for the moment far from the mark. He will need titles to achieve this. Lots of titles…

Victor Wembanyama has great potential, but for Rashad McCants, he is already a talent worthy of the best. So he had no problem taking him in the Top 10 of this “Fantasy Draft”, ahead of Tim Duncan and others.
