The next time Victor Wembanyama touches an NBA court — Wednesday against Dallas — it will be for real.
However, his final NBA preseason game this year was fun — right from the opening tip against Stephen Curry (who was giving up more than a foot).

Wembanyama went on to have another impressive outing, finishing the night with 19 points and five blocks.

It was another impressive outing in a string of them this season, with the much-hyped Wembanyama living up to it all and showing off some serious skills — and, more importantly, impressive defense. However, what has stood out to me the most this preseason is how well Wembanyama runs the floor, making himself a transition force.

It’s a little boring to predict Wembanyama will be Rookie of the Year, but watch the man and it’s hard to envision anyone else getting the award.
