Victor Wembanyama Wants to 'Invent New Things' in NBA Games, Talks Physical Potential

Bad news for the rest of the NBA: Victor Wembanyama is just getting started.

"I think my physical potential," Wembanyama said, per Chris Mannix of Sports Illustrated. "I don't know where it can lead me. I'm sure it's not complete at all. I want to work so that I have the chance one day to invent new things."

Don't put it past him to "invent new things" as he becomes more experienced in the NBA.

After all, how many times have there been a 7'4" big man who can shoot from well beyond the arc and make plays off the dribble like a guard? The San Antonio Spurs star does just that all while protecting the rim and controlling the boards as arguably the best defensive player in the league.

He wasted no time making an impact in 2023-24 as the Rookie of the Year who posted 21.4 points, 10.6 rebounds, 3.9 assists, a league-best 3.6 blocks and 1.2 steals per game while shooting 46.5 percent from the field and 32.5 percent from deep.

That was with no NBA experience, and now he is entering his second season in the league under one of the best coaches in the sport's history in Gregg Popovich. Anything but notable improvement would be a surprise, as Wembanyama's ceiling may not even exist at this point.

The next step will be getting the Spurs to the playoffs, and that will surely come if he lives up to his potential and, well, invents new things at the NBA level.
