Wembanyama is the most exciting NBA prospect since LeBron James and will almost certainly be selected with the No. 1 in this year’s draft.
The Metropolitans 92 star has shocked the basketball world with his smooth handles, agility, and shooting that’s rarely seen among seven-footers.
His weight has been the main concern of NBA scouts with the Le Chesnay native listed at between 220-230 pounds last year.
But the center has seemingly got bigger during the 2022-23 LNB season.
Wembanyama has shared a couple of snaps of himself stretching his muscles on Instagram.
And while his frame remains slender, the Frenchman’s chiseled body certainly impresses.
“Thin arms but I got big dreams,” he captioned the Instagram story.
With shoes on, Wembanyama is already four inches taller than Shaquille O’Neal.
And he might not be done growing yet.
The big man is having a breakthrough year, averaging 21.7 points, 9.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 0.8 steals, and 3.2 blocks in 23 games for Metropolitans.
He’s also shooting a career-best 47.6% from the field, although his 3-point percentage has dipped to below 30%.
That’s still an impressive mark considering Wembanyama’s height — and shot volume.
The center attempts 5.4 3s per game in the French league this season.
