NBA
Already considered a true star in the NBA, Victor Wembanyama found himself very well placed in the recent top 100 of the site The Ringer.
But his ranking is controversial among some, and he is not the only one concerned.
As the season will soon end, The Ringer has just released a ranking of the 100 best current players.
Victor Wembanyama has logically made a huge leap thanks to his performances, particularly since January. Result ?
He has just entered the Top 25, ahead of Jaylen Brown but just behind Damian Lillard.
A ranking with Holmgren/Wembanyama is debated
It’s high for the Frenchman, but not necessarily undeserved when we see his prowess.
With more than 20 points, 10 rebounds and 3 blocks on average for the Spurs, the fact is that Victor is having a pretty crazy season in San Antonio.
Perhaps even one of the best in history for a rookie.
However, the places of Chet Holmgren and Alperen Sengun caused controversy in relation to the Frenchman.
New Ringer Top 100 player list:

No surprise that Wembanyama is ahead of Holmgren as his season is superior.
But be careful not to underestimate Sengun’s campaign either, he who averages 21.1 points, 9.3 rebounds and 5 assists.
He fully deserves to be ahead of Chet at the very least and some fans quickly made that clear.
A real surprise for the supporters.
Nothing wrong with his spot,Sengun is better than Chet tho

Nothing wrong with his place, but Sengun is better than Chet on the other hand
Waaay too high. Sengun is better than Wemby right now, and it isn't close.

Much too high. Sengun is better than Wemby today and it’s not close.
Is Victor Wembanyama too high? Everyone will have their opinion on the matter, but seeing Alperen Sengun behind Chet Holmgren is definitely a problem.
A new ranking which will not be unanimous among fans.
