Who is Victor Wembanyama?

The 7-foot-4 center is currently playing for the Metropolitans 92 in the French Betclic Élite league where he is leading all players in points (21.8), rebounds (10.3) and blocks (3.1) per game. Wembanyama is comfortable handling the ball like a guard, can shoot it from deep and does things on the court that no other player in the world can do right now. Wembanyama's NBA comparison is a mixture between Kevin Durant and Rudy Gobert with his shooting mechanics on offense and the way he protects the rim and alters shots on defense.

Specifically, I'm not a little curious as to where Brandon will go this season. He's as good as Wembanyama...
