The morning after the San Antonio Spurs selected Victor Wembanyama with the first overall pick in June 2023, legendary NBA reporter Adrian Wojnarowski draped some of the loftiest expectations we've ever heard.

During an appearance on Thursday's edition of ESPN's "First Take," former player and current analyst Jay Williams had nothing but high praise for Wembanyama after his stellar showing against the Mavericks.

Hornets 136, Nets 117: Brandon Miller had 25 points to lead the Hornets to the easy victory. Egor Demin came off the bench in his NBA debut to hit four 3-pointers for the Nets. Four of their five first-round picks played, and Demin was pretty much the only one of note, despite Ben Saraf starting.

Late in the first half of the San Antonio Spurs ' season-opening 125-92 blowout win over the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday, Victor Wembanyama faced up against P.J. Washington on the right wing. He shot faked. Washington bit. And what Wembanyama did next was, if you didn't actually see it with your own eyes, truly unbelievable.

DALLAS — Just six minutes into Victor Wembanyama’s first regular-season game in over eight months, the San Antonio Spurs big man needed a mental reset.

How do you measure Victor Wembanyama? How tall is he? He may not care much, but there's a reason this has become a subject of fascination.

In the Spurs' regular-season opener against the Dallas Mavericks, Wembanyama simply eviscerated his competition. He went into volcano mode and spewed 40 points on 15-of-21 shooting from the field, 15 rebounds, and three blocked shots. The French native also provided several highlight reel-worthy plays that made fans drop their jaws in disbelief.

In an interview on "First Things First," Olajuwon revealed that he initially believed Wembanyama was only joking when he mentioned training with him. After all, the All-Star already had a diverse skill set that allowed him to bring the ball up himself, shoot three-pointers and even score inside.
