Victor Wembanyama stuns with putback dunk of his own missed stepback 3-pointer

Victor Wembanyama is unlike any NBA prospect we've seen. This would likely still be true even if the 7-foot-4 French center never attempted a 3-pointer.

Sunday, the 19-year-old stunned in the Metropolitans 92’s game against A.S. Monaco Basket when he created a major play. Wembanyama shook his defender with a series of moves, missed a stepback 3 and then quickly followed up with the putback dunk.

Following your shot is important in the league, but it's rare to see a player of Wembanyama's stature go back up so quickly and then take off from the middle of the paint.
