Here’s everything you need to know about Victor Wembanyama, the 19-year-old
French phenom expected to go No. 1 overall in this June’s NBA Draft.
這裡是你對於Victor Wembanyama這名19歲現象級且應該能成為六月NBA選秀狀元的潛力球
員所有應該知道的事情。
Background
背景
Wembanyama has long been considered one of the best prospects in his age
group. His father, Felix, was a 6-foot-6 high-level long jumper. His mother,
Elodie, was 6-foot-3 and played basketball and helped teach Victor the game.
He has two siblings, both of whom play basketball, and grew up in the
Parisian suburbs and joined the Nanterre 92 developmental team at a young age.
Wembanyama長期以來都被視為他年齡層最好的潛力之一。他的父親Felix是一名身高6呎6吋
的跳遠選手。他的母親Elodie則是一名6呎3吋且會打籃球的母親並在Victor的籃球發展做
出貢獻。他還有兩個打籃球的兄弟並一起在巴黎郊區長大且在很小的時候就一起加入了楠
泰爾籃球俱樂部的少年隊。
Wembanyama emerged as an elite prospect for NBA teams at the U16 European
Championships in 2019, where he averaged nine points, 10 rebounds and five
blocks per game as a 15-year-old. He continued to ride wave of momentum while
playing for Nanterre’s developmental Espoirs team and got his first taste of
professional basketball in early 2020 for Nanterre. Then he quickly emerged
as a first-team player for Nanterre in 2020-21, starting 10 games in the
French League and winning the Pro A league’s Best Shot Blocker award as well
as its Rising Star award. That summer, he went to the U19 World Cup as an
underage 17-year-old and dominated again. He averaged 14 points, seven
rebounds and five blocks, putting up a dominant 22-point, eight-rebound,
eight-block game in the championship against the United States team led by
Chet Holmgren, with France losing by just two points. He continued his ascent
as a 17-year-old, moving to French power ASVEL and earning starting minutes
both in EuroLeague and French League play. He led the EuroLeague in blocked
shots as a teenager, an absurd accomplishment, and largely held his own and
showcased flashes of elite play mixed with some inefficiency as a young
player exploring the boundaries of his game. He won the French League Best
Young Player award again but lost EuroLeague Rising Star award to Knicks’
pick Rokas Jokubaitis. He decided to leave ASVEL at the end of the season,
signing a contract with Metropolitans 92 in Paris, where he would play for
French national team coach Vincent Collet.
Wembanyama在2019年U16歐冠杯時開始作為一名菁英級別的NBA潛力被注意到。他在那個杯
賽作為15歲球員場均9分10籃板5火鍋。他在楠泰爾籃球俱樂部時也沒有停下他的腳步並迅
速在2020年初時獲得了他職業球員的初體驗。接下來他迅速在20-21球技成為了楠泰爾籃球
俱樂部的一軍。在10場的先發中他獲得了法國甲級聯賽的阻攻王與未來之星。該年夏天，
他作為一名不到17的歲球員參加U19世界盃得到了場均14分7籃板5火鍋並再冠軍戰對決由
Chet Holmgren領軍的美國隊得到了22分8籃板8火鍋的成績且只輸了2分。他在他17歲的時
候繼續向上進步加入了法國強隊ASVEL籃球隊並於歐洲聯賽與法國聯賽都取得先發的位置。
他以青少年的身分獲得了歐洲聯賽的阻攻王。從這時候他開始展現一些菁英級別的play以
及混雜了一些低效來開發他作為年輕球員的極限。他贏得了法國聯賽最佳年輕球員但是在
未來之星獎中敗給了尼克的Rokas Jokubaitis。他在那個賽季結束後決定離開ASVEL隊並與
由法國國家隊教練Vincent Collet領軍的巴黎大都會92隊簽約。
Wembanyama exploded in his season with Metropolitans, going from surefire No.
1 overall player to truly generational talent due to his improvement in terms
of offensive shot creation. The NBA put together a showcase game for
Wembanyama and potential No. 2 overall pick Scoot Henderson in September
2022. Wembanyama left scouts salivating and in awe, scoring 37 points in the
first game and then scoring 36 points and grabbing 11 rebounds in the second.
He went on to carry Metropolitans toward the top of the French League and
currently leads the French League in scoring, rebounds and blocks.
Metropolitans is third at the moment behind only EuroLeague powerhouses
Monaco and ASVEL.
Wembanyama於他在大都會時開始爆發並藉由進攻上的進步從唯一狀元變成了真正的改變世
代的天賦。NBA替他與可能是榜眼的Scoot Henderson於2022年9月安排了一場表演賽。
Wembanyama的表現令球探們垂涎三尺。他第一場得了37分並在第二場斬獲36分11籃板。接
著他更是帶領大都會隊攻頂法國聯賽並同時是法國聯賽的得分王、籃板王與火鍋王。大都
會現在是該聯賽的第三名僅次於歐洲聯賽強隊的摩納哥與ASVEL。
It is worth briefly noting that Wembanyama has had a history of injuries. In
December 2020, he suffered a stress fracture in his leg. In November 2021, he
broke a finger that forced him to miss one month. In December 2021, he
suffered a right shoulder blade bone bruise that forced him to miss over a
month. In June 2022, he suffered a muscle injury that forced him to miss the
rest of the French League season. None of these are recurrent, but scouts
have taken notice that he continues to miss time. He has not missed a single
game for Metropolitans in his pre-draft year and is considered to have a very
professional personality and demeanor.
Wembanyama的傷病史是一個非常需要被注意的事情。在2020年12月時他有疲勞性骨折;2021
年11月時他手指骨折缺席了一個月;2021年12月他右肩脫臼病缺席超過一個月;2022年6月他
因肌肉傷勢而整季報銷。以上這些都沒有再復發，然而球探們注意到了他持續的缺席。所
以他在今年選秀年為大都會隊完整出賽被認為是一個非常具有職業精神的行為。
Strengths
優勢
Wembanyama has elite length for a center. He stands over 7-foot-4 in shoes
with a near-8-foot wingspan and will be among the longest centers in the NBA
from day one. Beyond that, Wembanyama has a relatively skinny yet
well-proportioned frame that should continue to be able to add weight. He’s
already over 230 pounds and has retained a large amount of the coordination
and athleticism that has made him special as an offensive player. He’s not
an elite run-and-jump athlete, but he’s good and more than anything
possesses terrific hand-eye coordination and fluidity for his size. He gets
off the ground quickly as a jumper, even if his vertical leap likely isn’t
massive. His balance is unlike that of any “super giant” who has entered
the NBA previously.
Wembanyama有著作為中鋒非常出色的身長。他穿鞋身高超過7尺4吋並有著接近8尺的臂展。
在他加入NBA時他將會是最長的中鋒。除此之外，Wembanyama有著相對纖細但比例良好的身
材所以要在身上增重並不難。雖然他現在已經超過230磅但他仍維持了非常好的協調性與運
動能力
