Victor Wembanyama will not make the trip to Indianapolis for nothing. Almost certainly leaving for the Rising stars challenge, this event in the form of a curtain raiser during the All Star weekend which will bring together the best first and second year players as well as elements playing in the G-League, the 20-year-old French rookie should also participate in the “Skills challenge”. This is information from The Athletic. Dribbling, passing, shooting... This individual competition has long been reserved for leaders. This is no longer the case. Interiors like Domantas Sabonis, Bam Adebayo, Kristaps Porzingis and Karl-Anthony Towns have won it in recent years.
First choice of the 2023 Draft, Victor Wembanyama averages 19.4 points, 10.2 rebounds and 3.1 blocks with the San Antonio Spurs, dead last in the Western Conference standings. A legitimate candidate for the title of Rookie of the Year, he should, unless there is a surprise, not experience his first selection for the All Star Game, which will take place on February 18 in Indianapolis.
