NBA – After a thunderous debut in the NBA.. in a period of doubt, Victor Wembanyama was sad because the ratings dropped “unpredictably”..
he did not expect it to this extent.
After a thunderous NBA debut, Victor Wembanyama is going through a more refined phase in recent days. In that context, the rankings just revealed by a famous American media outlet risk causing discomfort to competitors like him.
Victor Wembanyama’s arrival in the NBA was an event in the eyes of many fans of the league, including Spurs fans.
Even before his official debut, the French prodigy was predicted to become the new face of the NBA, or even the GOAT according to some.
But while his early games across the Atlantic justified the hype surrounding him there, he has tended to become disillusioned in recent days.
Victor Wembanyama is ranked 2nd among the best rookies
Combining attacking ineffectiveness and clumsiness, Wembanyama’s recent performances have disappointed most observers.
Not forgetting the fact that his Spurs team is on a losing streak at the same time.
Hence, a situation that favors his main rival in the race for the Rookie of the Year title, Chet Holmgren, whom HoopsHype currently ranks higher than Victor in the “Global Ranking”:
With a rating of 17.77, Holmgren largely overwhelms Wemby (11.50) in this ranking.
An observation that may be surprising at first glance is that the Frenchman displays a higher average in terms of scoring and counter-attacks.
However, his American opponent proved to be much more consistent in his performance and, moreover, contributed to the success of the Thunder, who finished third in the West (10-4).
Just the 2nd place occupied by Victor was enough to make him uncomfortable.
However, his appearance closer to third place, recently occupied by Jaime Jaquez (10.43), than in first place risks further disappointing him.
Therefore, he knows that he will have to recover quickly to catch up and regain his position as a favorite for the Rookie of the Year title.
Further down this list is another name familiar to French fans, Bilal Coulibaly, ranked 10th (5.98).
A great position for the Wizards fullback, who has performed very well for his new squad despite poor collective results.
All that remains is to hope that he will continue this momentum and that his former Metropolitans 92 teammate will regain his glorious form.
Victor Wembanyama’s season was far from mediocre, but still somewhat disappointing compared to expectations.
His current clumsiness has caused him to fall down in HoopsHype’s best rookie rankings but he will certainly try to regain the number 1 spot.
