The new NBA season has brought with it a budding new star who arrived with as much hype as any player.
When the Spurs won the draft lottery, they won a basketball jackpot unlike any other. Victor Wembanyama is only 19 years old and appears to be everything as advertised, and possibly more.
"Many of us have known about him since probably the age of 14 or 15. He comes out of an incredibly athletic family in France," said Fraschilla. "I want to say that defensively he's ahead of where he is offensively. But the beauty of Wemby is that he's got all the potential in the world to be dominant on both ends of the floor," he said.
