Despite his impressive individual performance, it didn’t necessarily lead to team success. Meanwhile, Paul George had some strong praise for the young star.
During an episode of his podcast, “Podcast P With Paul George,” George issued a stark warning to the NBA about Wembanyama’s potential.
“The way he finished the year, I think, is scary for the league. The momentum he gained at the end of this season is exactly what he needed to transform into a completely different player next season,” George said.
George later also highlighted Wembanyama’s standout performances against teams like the Denver Nuggets and Philadelphia 76ers this season.
“You just look at the game against Denver, the matchup against Philly, he had some really good games to close this year out where it was, like damn, this is what Wemby is.”
Wembanyama, who was selected first overall by the San Antonio Spurs, validated his draft status by earning the 2023–24 Rookie of the Year award. He averaged an impressive 21.4 points and 10.6 rebounds and led the league with 3.6 blocks per game in his rookie season.
