Victor Wembanyama has been a sensation in the NBA. His record-breaking performances and impressive stats led NBA analyst Brian Scalabrine on Friday's episode of SiriusXM "NBA Radio" to favor the Frenchman over Denver Nuggets' Nikola Jokic.
The analyst favored Wemby's impact over Jokic despite the reigning MVP's significantly better +/- rating (123 points higher).
"Wembanyama, I think he impacts more plays than even Nikola Jokic. I see guys driving, and everytime they drive, they take a look at where's Wemby ... I've never seen NBA players that's constantly aware of where's Wembanyama's at all times ... He's that so much of an impact defensively. Then offensively, where do you stop him," Scalabrine said.
