A nugget from the West is still a hit: “If it were Wemby, everyone would be on their knees”

Victor Wembanyama is impressive at the moment, but other members of the 2023 draft class are also doing well on the floor. Among them, a nugget from the Western Conference in particular provoked particularly laudatory reactions with its latest performance, to the point of completely eclipsing the V.

For the moment, it’s impossible to miss Victor Wembanyama’s NBA debut. The Spurs pivot is the subject of almost all debates in the US, as evidenced by the heated reactions after his team’s defeat against the Raptors. However, if the Frenchman has ignited fans and media alike with great performances so far, he is not the only one among the rookies to convince since the restart.

We can for example cite his rival Chet Holmgren at the Thunder, the American interior also dropping some dirt for his first professional steps, or even Ausar Thompson who is carrying out a real statistical project at the Pistons. But if you stay in Texas, there is also something to eat with Derek Lively II. The interior of the Mavericks was very good during the victory against Charlotte (124-118):

Derek Lively II excels in Mavs colors

Derek Lively II last night: 15 points, 14 rebounds, one block, 78% shooting success.

As a reminder, the big man from Dallas had already made a strong impression during Opening Night against a certain Victor Wembanyama. Starting in five of his franchise’s first six games this season, he has struggled a little more since then but has remained a real presence under the circle, which Luka Doncic & co. these last months. For some fans, he would even be cruelly underestimated within the 2023 vintage.

Rookie of the Year. If this was Wemby everyone would be on their knees playing

Better than Wemby

Everyone calm down, Derek Lively II is not really superior to Victor Wembanyama, the Frenchman having shown much more since his debut. However, the Mavericks have found a nice gem in the racket and with a little time, the guy could become essential at position 5.
