French basketball prodigy Wembanyama tipped for NBA success after first US match

07.10.2022 - 22:41 france24.com

Wembanyama, 18, flew to Nevada with his French league team to showcase the skills that many informed observers believe will make him the number one pick in next year's NBA draft.

Around 200 NBA team representatives and more than 70 media outlets were on hand for the teenager's first ever match on US soil as he led the Metropolitans, based in the Paris suburbs of Boulogne-Levallois, against G League team Ignite.

Despite facing another hot NBA prospect, Scoot Henderson, the 7ft 4in Wembanyama grabbed 37 points and made five blocks as his team went down to a 122-115 loss.

Wembanyama followed up that eye-catching debut with another masterpiece on Thursday, scoring 36 points with 11 rebounds, four blocks and four assists in a 112-106 win over the Ignite.

"Has To Prove He Is Viv Richards": Ramiz Raja Sets Bold Target For Babar Azam After Test Snub

Former Pakistan cricketer and Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Ramiz Raja feels that star batter Babar Azam has yet to achieve his best in the Test format. Babar was rested for the last two Tests against England after his poor form. Pakistan won both the matches and secured the series 2-1, the first under Shan Masood's rein. In 55 Tests, Babar has scored 3,997 runs at an average of 43.92. However, he has not scored a Test half-century since 2022 and has seen a dip in form in a year where he was made captain and then left the post after Pakistan suffered a group-stage exit in this year's T20 World Cup in June.
