“He has a chance to be the best player ever,' Chicago Bulls point guard Lonzo Ball said of San Antonio Spurs rookie Victor Wembanyama. 'I’ll say that right now, and I’ll stand on ten.'
Since entering the NBA last season, Victor Wembanyama has gotten accustomed to seeing high praise come his way.
“Wemby’s probably the best defensive player we’ve ever seen. He’s going to average five to six blocks per game one year, and that’s gonna be O.D,” Ball said. “He has a chance to be the best player ever. I’ll say that right now, and I’ll stand on ten… When we went toe-to-toe with Giannis, that’s when I said alright, ‘cause I didn’t even watch him in France.”
With just a season under his belt, Ball is already considering Wembanyama to be one of the most talented players to step foot on an NBA court. It’s probably too early to start comparing him to all-time greats, but the signs of him ending up towards the top of that list are very apparent.
