Victor Wembanyama Draws Comparisons to Kevin Durant

At least every legendary player in the game has heaped praise on the 19-year-old French prodigy Victor Wembanyama. It is understandable given all the buzz Victor has been receiving lately thanks to his gameplay and dominance in the game coming this early in his career. His impressive performances have been seen in multiple games for the Metropolitans 92 of the LNB Pro A. As June 22, 2023, nears, the day for the official 2023 NBA draft, several NBA franchises are looking to add new players to their roster and Victor is one most teams will be looking to get. Pundits and analysts believe that Wemby has the potential to become one of the best players and most have repeatedly compared him to current NBA Phoenix Suns power forward Kevin Durant.

Undoubtedly one of the NBA’s most dominant players over the past ten years, Kevin Durant shows no signs of slowing down. Durant has already solidified his position as one of the greatest players to ever play in the NBA with two NBA championships, one NBA MVP, and 13 All-Star selections. However, with the drafting of Victor Wembanyama, who shares a lot of aspects with Kevin Durant in terms of height, wingspan, style of play and court prowess, some believe that Durant鈥檚 replacement comes with Wembanyama.

Enter Victor Wembayama the 7鈥�4鈥� centre who is poised to go first in the 2023 NBA draft and has been turning heads back at Metropolitans 92. His play in the 2022 game with G-league’s Ignite put him on the map and showed how he will take the NBA by storm. According to Forbes, Wembanyama has been a vital contributor to Metropolitans 92 success as he averages 20.3 points per game. 10.0 rebounds per game. 2.7 blocks per game while shooting at 53.3% three-point percentage.

However, Victor’s statistics aren’t the only thing being discussed. What makes him stand out are his playing style and potential. Wemby is a formidable force in the paint who has excellent board control and a powerful finish at the rim. He is a good defender as well, guarding the rim against opponents and blocking shots with his strength and agility. At only 19 years old, Wembayama still has a lot of room to grow and improve his game.

Is Wembanyama vying to replace Kevin Durant? Even though it’s too soon to speculate for certain, there are a few signs that Victor might someday surpass KD.

Victor, who is currently 19 years old, is first and foremost much younger than Durant. Even though KD continues to be a powerful player when healthy, he has recently struggled with several injuries. On the other hand, Wembanyama is still at the beginning of his career and has not yet sustained any significant injuries. Victor will now have more time to refine his skills while establishing himself as a league leader.
Victor’s playing style is another thing working in his favour. Wembanyama is a more conventional centre that excels at scoring and grabbing rebounds, unlike Durant, who is renowned for his all-around ability and ability to help the team in various ways. As a result, Wemby is more likely to achieve excellent results in these categories, which might enable him to become the league’s undisputed leader.

A few factors may prevent Victor from surpassing Durant. One is that KD is still a strong player despite his advanced age and injury history. He is a leader on and off the court, and Wembanyama may find it challenging to match his expertise and understanding of the game. It is challenging to match Durant’s 2017 and 2018 seasons, during which he led the Golden State Warriors to two NBA titles and was named the MVP in each of them.
Kevin Durant on the other hand has had nothing but praise for the French prodigy in a recent interview. 鈥淭he league is really in trouble when he comes in鈥�, Durant says when asked about Wembanyama.

Only time will ultimately be able to determine if Victor Wembanyama is contending for Kevin Durant’s position as one of the NBA’s top players. But Wemby will be putting a lot of effort into it given his impressive play and potential.
