Victor Wembanyama

Wembanyama's height combined with his well-rounded skillset makes him one of the highest-ceiling prospects most scouts have ever seen. Despite being well over seven feet tall, he can handle and shoot the ball like a playmaking wing, but he has skills in the post as well, allowing him to simply shoot over smaller defenders. He's a willing passer, able to punish double teams. Wembanyama's length will make him extremely disruptive as a defender and rebounder. His relative quickness allows him to defend some on the perimeter, where he's capable of blocking jumpers. Wembanyama could be vying for All-Star nods sooner than later, and it's hard to calculate how high his ceiling might be down the line. Last season, with Metropolitans 92 in the French LNB Pro A league, he averaged 20.9 points on 47/27/82 shooting, 10.3 rebounds, 3.0 blocks and 2.4 assists. To much dissatisfaction, the No. 1 overall pick appeared in just two Summer League games. He looked to be a combination of tired and nervous in his first appearance. And while he still looked raw offensively in his second performance, he finished with an efficient 27 points on 14 shots. It's easier to have confidence in his defense, with Wembanyama racking up eight blocks and one steal in his two games. A more structured offense orchestrated by Gregg Popovich should benefit the rookie. So how high should he be drafted in fantasy? Based on his defensive upside alone, he could be a valid pick in the middle rounds. But if he can become the focal point of San Antonio's offense, or at least play efficiently within the structure, it's hard to knock optimistic fantasy managers reaching into the late second round.
