Here’s everything you need to know about Victor Wembanyama, the 19-year-old
French phenom expected to go No. 1 overall in this June’s NBA Draft.
这里是你对于Victor Wembanyama这名19岁现象级且应该能成为六月NBA选秀状元的潜力球
员所有应该知道的事情。
Background
背景
Wembanyama has long been considered one of the best prospects in his age
group. His father, Felix, was a 6-foot-6 high-level long jumper. His mother,
Elodie, was 6-foot-3 and played basketball and helped teach Victor the game.
He has two siblings, both of whom play basketball, and grew up in the
Parisian suburbs and joined the Nanterre 92 developmental team at a young age.
Wembanyama长期以来都被视为他年龄层最好的潜力之一。他的父亲Felix是一名身高6呎6吋
的跳远选手。他的母亲Elodie则是一名6呎3吋且会打篮球的母亲并在Victor的篮球发展做
出贡献。他还有两个打篮球的兄弟并一起在巴黎郊区长大且在很小的时候就一起加入了楠
泰尔篮球俱乐部的少年队。
Wembanyama emerged as an elite prospect for NBA teams at the U16 European
Championships in 2019, where he averaged nine points, 10 rebounds and five
blocks per game as a 15-year-old. He continued to ride wave of momentum while
playing for Nanterre’s developmental Espoirs team and got his first taste of
professional basketball in early 2020 for Nanterre. Then he quickly emerged
as a first-team player for Nanterre in 2020-21, starting 10 games in the
French League and winning the Pro A league’s Best Shot Blocker award as well
as its Rising Star award. That summer, he went to the U19 World Cup as an
underage 17-year-old and dominated again. He averaged 14 points, seven
rebounds and five blocks, putting up a dominant 22-point, eight-rebound,
eight-block game in the championship against the United States team led by
Chet Holmgren, with France losing by just two points. He continued his ascent
as a 17-year-old, moving to French power ASVEL and earning starting minutes
both in EuroLeague and French League play. He led the EuroLeague in blocked
shots as a teenager, an absurd accomplishment, and largely held his own and
showcased flashes of elite play mixed with some inefficiency as a young
player exploring the boundaries of his game. He won the French League Best
Young Player award again but lost EuroLeague Rising Star award to Knicks’
pick Rokas Jokubaitis. He decided to leave ASVEL at the end of the season,
signing a contract with Metropolitans 92 in Paris, where he would play for
French national team coach Vincent Collet.
Wembanyama在2019年U16欧冠杯时开始作为一名菁英级别的NBA潜力被注意到。他在那个杯
赛作为15岁球员场均9分10篮板5火锅。他在楠泰尔篮球俱乐部时也没有停下他的脚步并迅
速在2020年初时获得了他职业球员的初体验。接下来他迅速在20-21球技成为了楠泰尔篮球
俱乐部的一军。在10场的先发中他获得了法国甲级联赛的阻攻王与未来之星。该年夏天，
他作为一名不到17的岁球员参加U19世界杯得到了场均14分7篮板5火锅并再冠军战对决由
Chet Holmgren领军的美国队得到了22分8篮板8火锅的成绩且只输了2分。他在他17岁的时
候继续向上进步加入了法国强队ASVEL篮球队并于欧洲联赛与法国联赛都取得先发的位置。
他以青少年的身分获得了欧洲联赛的阻攻王。从这时候他开始展现一些菁英级别的play以
及混杂了一些低效来开发他作为年轻球员的极限。他赢得了法国联赛最佳年轻球员但是在
未来之星奖中败给了尼克的Rokas Jokubaitis。他在那个赛季结束后决定离开ASVEL队并与
由法国国家队教练Vincent Collet领军的巴黎大都会92队签约。
Wembanyama exploded in his season with Metropolitans, going from surefire No.
1 overall player to truly generational talent due to his improvement in terms
of offensive shot creation. The NBA put together a showcase game for
Wembanyama and potential No. 2 overall pick Scoot Henderson in September
2022. Wembanyama left scouts salivating and in awe, scoring 37 points in the
first game and then scoring 36 points and grabbing 11 rebounds in the second.
He went on to carry Metropolitans toward the top of the French League and
currently leads the French League in scoring, rebounds and blocks.
Metropolitans is third at the moment behind only EuroLeague powerhouses
Monaco and ASVEL.
Wembanyama于他在大都会时开始爆发并借由进攻上的进步从唯一状元变成了真正的改变世
代的天赋。NBA替他与可能是榜眼的Scoot Henderson于2022年9月安排了一场表演赛。
Wembanyama的表现令球探们垂涎三尺。他第一场得了37分并在第二场斩获36分11篮板。接
着他更是带领大都会队攻顶法国联赛并同时是法国联赛的得分王、篮板王与火锅王。大都
会现在是该联赛的第三名仅次于欧洲联赛强队的摩纳哥与ASVEL。
It is worth briefly noting that Wembanyama has had a history of injuries. In
December 2020, he suffered a stress fracture in his leg. In November 2021, he
broke a finger that forced him to miss one month. In December 2021, he
suffered a right shoulder blade bone bruise that forced him to miss over a
month. In June 2022, he suffered a muscle injury that forced him to miss the
rest of the French League season. None of these are recurrent, but scouts
have taken notice that he continues to miss time. He has not missed a single
game for Metropolitans in his pre-draft year and is considered to have a very
professional personality and demeanor.
Wembanyama的伤病史是一个非常需要被注意的事情。在2020年12月时他有疲劳性骨折;2021
年11月时他手指骨折缺席了一个月;2021年12月他右肩脱臼病缺席超过一个月;2022年6月他
因肌肉伤势而整季报销。以上这些都没有再复发，然而球探们注意到了他持续的缺席。所
以他在今年选秀年为大都会队完整出赛被认为是一个非常具有职业精神的行为。
Strengths
优势
Wembanyama has elite length for a center. He stands over 7-foot-4 in shoes
with a near-8-foot wingspan and will be among the longest centers in the NBA
from day one. Beyond that, Wembanyama has a relatively skinny yet
well-proportioned frame that should continue to be able to add weight. He’s
already over 230 pounds and has retained a large amount of the coordination
and athleticism that has made him special as an offensive player. He’s not
an elite run-and-jump athlete, but he’s good and more than anything
possesses terrific hand-eye coordination and fluidity for his size. He gets
off the ground quickly as a jumper, even if his vertical leap likely isn’t
massive. His balance is unlike that of any “super giant” who has entered
the NBA previously.
Wembanyama有著作为中锋非常出色的身长。他穿鞋身高超过7尺4吋并有着接近8尺的臂展。
在他加入NBA时他将会是最长的中锋。除此之外，Wembanyama有着相对纤细但比例良好的身
材所以要在身上增重并不难。虽然他现在已经超过230磅但他仍维持了非常好的协调性与运
动能力
