Victor Wembanyama’s Blistering Start Propels 4-0 Spurs, Sets Early Marks Across NBA

Early dominance has vaulted the 21-year-old into MVP plus DPOY projections from star veterans.

Overview

  • Through four games he is averaging 31.0 points, 13.8 rebounds and 4.8 blocks on 60/36/80 shooting splits as San Antonio opens 4-0.
  • He recorded a 40-point, 15-rebound, 70% shooting, zero-turnover outing and became the first player with 100+ points and 15+ blocks through the first three games of a season.
  • His consecutive-games block streak reached 89 to surpass Patrick Ewing, with opponents increasingly steering clear of the rim in his presence.
  • Draymond Green said Wembanyama could contend for MVP, Defensive Player of the Year and Most Improved if this pace continues, while Kendrick Perkins projected him into a future GOAT discussion.
  • Reports note the small early sample and last season’s blood-clot setback even as added strength and offseason skill work with legends are evident in his two-way impact.
