Draymond Green believes Victor Wembanyama is already a top-20 player in the NBA. The Golden State Warriors veteran believes the rookie sensation’s diverse skills have made him one of the best players in the world, despite the fact he’s still raw and has plenty of room for improvement.
Green’s comments came during a recent episode of “The Draymond Green Show” podcast. He also stated how there may be similarities between Wembanyama and Chet Holmgren but the gap in talent is noticeable, with the San Antonio Spurs star a cut above.
“Victor Wembanyama is probably a top-20 player in the NBA right now,” Green said. “With that skill set, with that length, with that jump shot, his jump shot is absolutely beautiful. In San Antonio with that staff, that kid, watch out. This is no stray at all. I think Chet Holmgren is a very good player, and I know there’s been this comparison amongst those two, but I will tell you I think there’s a gap between Chet Holmgren and Victor Wembanyama. Victor Wembanyama is just different. Kid is special. Absolutely special, and he may win MVP of the league in like the next two years or so.”
Wembanyama has played in 58 NBA games so far. He’s averaging 20.7 points, 10.3 rebounds and 3.5 assists while shooting 46.7% from the field and 33.3% from deep.
