Victor Wembanyama had endured some growing pains in his rookie campaign with the San Antonio Spurs , but there have also been quite a few instances where he has shown off his staggering potential throughout the year.
Maybe the best game of them all came against the Toronto Raptors on Monday night, where he posted a triple-double (27 PTS, 14 REB, 5 AST, 10 BLK, 10-14 FGM) in just 29 minutes of action. In the process, Wembanyama achieved a feat that hadn’t been seen since David Robinson .
Wembanyama’s humble reaction to being in same conversation as David Robinson
As he’s transitioned to the NBA, Wembanyama has been compared to other star prospects who came before him and immediately made an impact. One guy often mentioned is a Spurs legend in, Robinson, who was a de facto star from the moment he suited up for San Antonio.
With his ten-block outing against the Raptors, Wembanyama became the first rookie to record ten blocks in a single game since Robinson did it back during the 1989-90 campaign. When he was informed of this, Wembanyama was honored to be in the same conversation as Robinson.
