EDF – After the Olympics, the new all-time record by Wembanyama: “Youngest player to…

EDF Victor Wembanyama

Although he did not go for the gold medal at the Paris Olympics, Victor Wembanyama still continued his record-breaking run. The Spurs pivot had indeed secured a new historic feat, following the defeat against Team USA.

Unfortunately for him, his first Olympic Games did not end with the gold medal around his neck.

Top scorer in the final between France and Team US with 26 points, Victor Wembanyama was nevertheless unable to prevent his team’s defeat against the American ogre.

Even the giant born in Chesnay (2m24) was unable to stop an incandescent Stephen Curry in the money time.

A few weeks after the end of the tournament, we can draw a more concrete assessment of the Alien’s first steps in official competition with the Blues.

There was a lot of clumsiness in attack with only 42% shooting success including 29% from afar, but the reigning Rookie of the Year was able to gain strength over the course of the games.

As for his defense, which was highly anticipated, it was simply imperial on the Paris side.

New historic achievement for Victor Wembanyama
Best blocker with 1.7 blocks on average and second best rebounder (9.7 takes per game), Wemby weighed in with all his weight in his half of the court.

All this put together allowed him to obtain a nice reward by being selected in the best starting five of these Olympic Games, along with LeBron James and Stephen Curry. A resounding and even all-time feat:

Wemby became the youngest player in history to be selected in the first five All-Olympic Games in Paris, surpassing Luka Doncic who had achieved this at the age of 22 in Tokyo. Unique 👽

As a reminder, the V only celebrated his twentieth spring last January.

Suffice to say that he has a hell of a head start on El Matador, who was himself acclaimed as a prodigy of the orange ball very early in his career.

The good news is that the former Mets player is a competitor at heart. Losing in the Olympic final against the United States will therefore have only strengthened his determination to win everything in the years to come.

It is also the US that should pay the price first, since he is preparing to return to the NBA courts with San Antonio for his second campaign in the league.

Victor Wembanyama had already set a string of precocity records during his rookie year with the Spurs, he did the same at the Paris Olympics.

Failing to become champion with the French Team, he will have finished with the silver medal around his neck as well as a great individual feat in his pocket.
