Victor Wembanyama made his long-awaited NBA debut Wednesday night when the Spurs opened their regular season with a loss against the visiting Mavericks. Despite the less-than-desirable outcome for San Antonio, the No. 1 pick in the 2023 NBA draft had an impressive stat line—and it looked a bit familiar.

“He’s going to be amazing. He already is. The size obviously, like everybody talks, the way he moves for 7’5”, 7’6”. … He moves incredible. He moves like a point guard almost.
The sign-stealing allegations against Michigan are serious, and time and evidence will answer some of the questions—though probably not all.
