Unlike many other European prospects, he began to dazzle American fans several years before registering for the NBA Draft.
Barely 16 years old, Victor Wembanyama was already making waves on the other side of the Atlantic.
One video in particular allowed him to become known, namely that of a matchup with, among others, Rudy Gobert:
