Additionally, his 225 three-pointers made in this span defy traditional expectations for a center, surpassing even the early career numbers of Stephen Curry, the NBA's all-time leader in three-pointers.
Overall Impact
Wembanyama's rapid rise in the NBA has been nothing short of remarkable. His combination of scoring, rebounding, shot-blocking, passing, and three-point shooting make him a truly special talent in the league.
