Victor Wembanyama has been the talk of the NBA for the last few days. Now, even LeBron James is impressed by him.
A 7-foot-4 center and projected No. 1 overall pick in the NBA draft, Wembanyama scored 37 points Tuesday night against the G League Ignite and Scoot Henderson, the projected No. 2 pick. Wembanyama plays for the French pro team Metropolitan 92.
That game, played in Henderson, Nevada, had NBA stars Chris Paul and Devin Booker watching along with WNBA players A'ja Wilson and Chelsea Gray of the Las Vegas Aces.
