“You think you can shoot, that he’s not that close, but then in reality he is so long, you don’t realise how close he is. “It’s another game when he’s on the court,” he says. Nicola Alberani, the sporting director of French club SIG Strasbourg, is another fan. You can just feel him, feel the fact that he’s lurking about. Whenever he’s on the floor, his presence is felt. And then of course on defensce, he can block shots just off height and length alone, and his timing has gotten better as well. He has a nice feel for shooting and a touch for finishing around the basket. “It’s very apparent that he has great touch and natural feel, something that I think you can’t really teach. And then, of course, my coach is mad at me, like: ‘Why didn’t you attack him?’ And I was like: ‘I thought that I had room to get a shot off.’ But in Victor’s space, it’s just different than a normal defender. It was honestly a little bit embarrassing. Then I saw this lanky arm just extend out of nowhere and block it. “He switched on to me and he was playing pretty far off me,” Hornsby says. He remembers being struck by the teenager’s unique defensive ability during their first meeting, an exhibition game last year.

His father, Felix, was a long jumper who measures 6ft 6in, and his mother, Elodie, is a 6ft 3in former basketball player and coach. Every colleague of mine at this event had him down as the No 1 prospect.”īorn in the Paris suburb of Le Chesney in 2004, Wembanyama hails from athletic – and tall – stock. “He was 15 at the time, but he caught everyone’s eye. “I first saw him play in 2019 at the European Under-16 championships,” says Jason Filippi, a Europe-based scout who has worked for several NBA teams. In a little more than four minutes, the youngster is seen snatching rebounds over Gobert, displaying guard-like dribbling technique and a fluid jump-shot.
