The 2023 Las Vegas Summer League has been incredibly exciting for everyone. The players are putting on a show on the court, while fans are more interested in watching this young player showcase than ever before.
Victor Wembanyama has played a huge role in this, as the world awaited his Summer League debut. Former NBA Champion Kenny Smith closely analyzed Wembanyama’s game and declared he will be an MVP in the next four seasons.
“In year four, he will be the MVP of the league. In four years they will be good enough to contend, they will have another player with him, he will know the league, and there will be no LeBron James, Steph Curry, or Kevin Durant at their height. In four years, he will be the MVP.”
“In year four, he’ll be the MVP of the league.”
Kenny Smith has VERY high expectations for Victor Wembanyama in the NBA 😳

Wembanyama had a poor debut, which led people to overreact and call him a draft bust. He shut his haters up in his second game, showing his full offensive arsenal in a 27-point showing. The media pressure has been unfairly high on the young Spur, who has been shut down for the rest of Summer League.
Victor Wembanyama Living Up To Projections
Similar to LeBron James in 2003, if Wembanyama doesn’t have a career stacked with accolades, people will call him a failure. The one thing everyone seems certain about is that Wembanyama may be the greatest defensive prospect we have seen in the Draft. Jerry West called him a bigger Bill Russell, an extremely heavy compliment given Russell is arguably the greatest big-man defender not named Hakeem Olajuwon.
He will be taking the rest of his offseason away from the media spotlight after a Britney Spears scandal overshadowed most of his debuting weekend. With no FIBA World Cup plans in the summer either, the next time we see Wembanyama may as well be media day before the 2023-24 season in the fall.
