Victor Wembanyama has long been tipped to become one of the all-time greats of the NBA. The 21-year-old San Antonio Spurs centre was named NBA Rookie of the Year in his debut season and was on course to be named Defensive Player of the Year the following season before a blood clot in his shoulder brought his campaign to a premature end. Now in his third season in the NBA the Frenchman appears ready to fulfil his potential.
BBC Sport’s NBA writer Jonty Colman and NBA physio Alex Hubelbank join Mani Djazmi to discuss the literal and figurative growth of ‘Wemby’ after he returned to the court one inch taller than last season. Alex says some of the elite players she works with are as much in awe of Wembanyama as the rest of the world while Jonty explains how training with Shaolin Monks in China may have helped Wembanyama’s game.
