A sold out Thomas and Mack Center eagerly awaited the arrival of the NBA’s next superstar. A 7-foot-3 giant who can handle the ball and tip-dunk his own misses. The crowd watched every shot, pass and defensive possession with bated breath. Waiting to be blown away like every single basketball analyst told them they would be.
Even a middling performance from Victor Wembanyama would not have satisfied that hype.
The San Antonio Spurs rookie finished his summer league debut with 9 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists and 5 blocks on 2-13 shooting from the field.
