Victor Wembanyama has made his NBA debut. The San Antonio Spurs’ super rookie finally scored his first NBA regular-season basket Wednesday night at home against Luka Doncic and the visiting Dallas Mavericks.

What was his first basket? A 3-pointer from 26 feet away. Wemby, welcome to the NBA.

Wembanyama, regarded as the Spurs’ franchise savior, appears to have the tools and talent to live up to his generational hype, which is perhaps on par with LeBron James’ decades ago.

Wemby, a 7-4 guard with the ability to create his own shots from practically anywhere on the floor and a defensive presence felt by all five opposing players, is the prize the Spurs received after losing a lot of games in the 2022-23 NBA season. The Spurs finished 22-60 that season and won the No. 1 pick in the 2023 NBA Draft.

The Spurs are hoping to make a strong statement against Doncic and the Mavericks in their season opener. The Spurs are not going to put off developing Wembanyama. All things considered, Victor Wembanyama is 100 % ready for the NBA, possibly better than the majority of players in the league right now.

San Antonio is one of the most successful franchises in NBA history, and in Victor Wembanyama, the Spurs have someone who can take them back to the top – just like Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, and Manu Ginobili did.
