However, the hype around the 18-year old Frenchman could grow exponentially after ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski's take on him. While Wembanyama is projected to be the first-overall pick next year, Wojnarowski added more weight to that projection. On "NBA Countdown", he said: "Victor Wembanyama is the singular greatest prospect in NBA draft history. He was that at 18 years old, at 17 and also 16. He's not coming out of nowhere. The impact he's going to have on the NBA this season is dramatic. "There's one GM that told me the other day. There's going to be a race to the bottom like we've never seen before in the NBA. Teams trying to put themselves in a position to draft Wembanyama or get the second pick and get Scoot Henderson, who in any other year would be the number one overall pick." Wojnarowski continued: "One team president said to me that drafting Wembanyama might add as much as $500 million value to your franchise."

While getting accustomed to unfamiliar environments, the 18-year old is undoubtedly living up to the hype.
