Victor Wembanyama has taken the basketball world by storm with his unprecedented ability. Largely expected to go first overall in next year’s draft, Wembanyama has teams across the league incredibly excited about the possibility of drafting him. From France, Wembanyama will soon join a solid list of French NBA players, including LA Clippers forward Nicolas Batum.
On Monday, Batum shared his reaction to Wembanyama hitting the classic “look away” three that has been popularized by Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry:

With more and more eyes being placed on his games, his performance has remained elite, and there is no reason to believe that will not translate to the NBA level
