French phenom Victor Wembanyama delivered an all-time one-liner about G League star Scoot Henderson on Monday 😂
French phenom Victor Wembanyama did not mince his words Monday when sharing his thoughts on G League star Scoot Henderson ahead of their anticipated two-game series in Nevada this week.
The 7-foot-4 prospect is widely viewed as a generational talent whose expected to go No. 1 overall in the 2023 NBA draft. Wembanyama will look to prove he deserves that status in front of NBA scouts by leading France’s Metropolitans 92 into two preseason games against the G League Unite and Henderson, a widely projected top-5 pick in next year’s draft.
During a session with reporters, Wembanyama fielded a question about facing Henderson and told reporters he labeled the standout guard as his favorite player in their class. The pleasantries would end there, however, as he then explained where he would rank Henderson in the conversation for the top selection.The Associated PressThe 18-year-old’s all-time one-liner signals Wembanyama certainly doesn’t lack self-confidence.
Meanwhile, Henderson stands as some of the toughest competition Wembanyama has faced, to date. The former consensus five-star recruit from Marietta, Ga. turned down college to join the G League last year, turning in an impressive campaign and staking his claim among the elite names in his class. Wembanyama and Henderson will take the floor for their first-ever meeting on Tuesday at 10 p.m. ET with the rematch scheduled for Thursday at 3 p.m. ET. Both games are set to air on ESPN2.
