This performance has placed Wembanyama in elite company, as he joined the likes of Oscar Robertson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Larry Bird, Blake Griffin, and Sidney Wicks as the only players in NBA history to achieve 1,700 points, 800 rebounds, and 300 assists in their first 82 games[3].
Wembanyama's recent form has been noteworthy, especially after a sluggish start to the season. He has improved his 3-point shooting significantly, going 14 for 27 on 3-pointers in his last three games. This includes a career-high matching 6 for 12 on 3-pointers against the Kings[3].
Veteran point guard Chris Paul praised Wembanyama's work ethic and talent, suggesting that the league has yet to see the best from the young French star. Wembanyama, who was named Rookie of the Year and finished second for Defensive Player of the Year last season, continues to impress with his all-around skills and consistent performances[3].
