Wemby Was Becoming HIM
Before a rare blood clot in his shoulder changed everything, Victor Wembanyama was writing his name in bold letters across NBA history books. Defensive Player of the Year? Locked. All-NBA First or Second Team? Practically stamped. Playoffs? Within reach.
This wasn’t just a sophomore leap — this was a 7’4” meteor streaking through the league. His timing, presence, and growth felt generational. If the basketball gods had allowed him to finish the season, we’d be talking about the breakout of 2024–25. Instead, we’re left wondering what could’ve been.
But even in 46 games, Wemby was different.
Best Rim Protector in Basketball
Let’s get this straight: Wemby didn’t block shots — he erased them. He led the league in blocks and still managed to intimidate opponents into avoiding the paint entirely. And it wasn’t just defense — his offense took a leap too.
Sniper Season: The 3-Ball Awakens
Critics complained he floated too much. But when you’re hitting 35.2% from deep on nearly 9 attempts per game, you’ve earned the right to float. That jumper? Real. Stretch-five range. Spacing gravity. Wemby warped defenses in ways we haven’t seen since Dirk.
Sure, 47% of his shots were threes — and yes, rim attempts dipped slightly — but pairing that shot with De’Aaron Fox and rookie Stephon Castle will make this offense scary. Give it time. The balance will come. The threat is already there.
What Comes Next: Playoffs or Bust
San Antonio has the assets. They have Fox. They have draft picks (2 and 14). They have Castle and Barnes. They have cap flexibility. This summer could be the franchise’s most pivotal in 15 years. If the Spurs add shooters and defenders, you can’t double Wemby anymore. Let that sink in.
And here’s the thing — he’s only 22.
Health is the Variable
The blood clot is serious. No sugarcoating it. It’s okay to be scared. Spurs fans are right to be cautious, especially with EuroBasket around the corner. But the team says it’s isolated. And if he’s truly cleared for a full return…
Wemby Year 3 might just break the simulation.
đź”® Looking Forward: MVP Talk Is Coming
Assuming a full recovery — and all signs point to yes — Wembanyama is heading toward a monster season. He’ll be extension-eligible in 2026, and there’s zero doubt: he’s the future of this franchise.
Get ready. Next season won’t be a “what if.”
It’ll be Wemby’s World.
And we’ll just be lucky to live in it.
