If the end of the season no longer really matters for San Antonio, Victor Wembanyama can take advantage of it to gain experience and boost his statistics.

he French pivot has also joined an extremely restricted club since there are only two of them to have achieved the feat in question, no less.

With 14 victories for 52 defeats, the Spurs are already set as to the end of the financial year.

Among the first teams to be officially eliminated from the race for the playoffs, Gregg Popovich and his men should not take it easy.

On the contrary, it is now a matter of working towards the 2024-25 season.

Because as we can understand just based on their collective record, the Texans have a good number of areas for improvement.

First of all, we will have to better surround Victor Wembanyama who is heading straight towards the title of Rookie of the Year.

A deserved reward as the Frenchman impressed on the courts.

Little by little, the former Boulogne-Levallois player managed to outdistance Chet Holmgren in the race for ROY, notably by delivering historic performances.

Between a triple-double with blocks or the fastest 5×5 of all time, the V demonstrated all its potential on both sides of the court, he who can defend his circle as well as punish from afar.

He has also just written history in this sector:

Victor Wembanyama and Bucks interior Brook Lopez (during the 2018-19 season) are the only two players in history to have combined 30 games with at least two blocks and two successful three-pointers in a season.

Wemby and Chet Holmgren (23) are the only two rookies with at least 20 such games in a single season.

For the moment, the Tricolor’s marksmanship remains one of its biggest gray areas since it only hits 46.7% of its attempts, including only 33% at three points.

If he manages to be cleaner in his shot selection, this ability to stretch the field in attack will become truly lethal next year when some already consider him a candidate for Defender of the Year.

Clearly, Victor Wembanyama never stops joining all-time statistical clubs. 

This one is however quite symbolic in terms of his playing profile, because the Frenchman has really established himself as a unicorn capable of countering everything that moves in defense before going to punish behind the arc on the other side of the field .
