Wemby is only 20 years old and has just scored his 50th point in 28 minutes.
The first thing he did when he went to the bench? Talk to his teammates about what they can do better.

I noticed that when Wemby has a 60% hit rate on 14 threes, no one is mad at him for shooting threes🤔

WEMBY GOES NUCLEAR, MY GOD

Heading into Wednesday's matchup, Wembanyama was averaging 19.7 points, 10.5 boards, 3.9 blocks and 1.4 steals per game. Those are solid numbers, but perhaps not the type of play many expected from him in year two.

With one of his best performances behind him, Wembanyama will look to build on the big goal night and continue to improve. His 50-point performance on Wednesday is a good indicator that he can dominate on offense just as he did on defense, and the future continues to look bright for him.
