Victor Wembanyama of the San Antonio Spurs keeps getting better and, somehow, he keeps getting taller too.
Appearing on ESPN, NBA insider Brian Windhorst revealed a startling claim about Wembanyama.
“He was listed at 7’3 as a rookie, but that was a lie. I believe he was actually 7’5″. He’s now listed at 7’5″. I think he might be approaching 7’7″,” Windhorst said.
Boban Marjanovic: “I’m 7’4”. I’m looking up at Victor Wembanyama like… no way.”

Windhorst said this while standing next to Boban Marjanovic, who stated that he had to look up at Wembanyama when he played against him.
That claim is enough to make Windhorst’s statement believable.
Wembanyama was seen as a giant when he entered the league, which was one of the things that made him so special.
However, it wasn’t just his size and length that turned him into one of the most exciting prospects of all time.
Wembanyama is a defensive threat, but he’s also an offensive talent.
In fact, his offensive skills are seemingly improving, and his preseason work shows that he’s playing with more speed and aggression.
Most people are shocked to hear that Wembanyama could be reaching 7-foot-7, but it is important to remember that he’s still a young man.
He is only 21 years old, and so growth spurts like this aren’t completely unbelievable.
He was already shutting down all kinds of offense when he was listed at 7-foot-3, so Spurs fans are imagining what he can do now that he’s supposedly 7-foot-7.
The Spurs have high hopes for the upcoming season, and they know that Wembanyama will be at the center of it all.
Last year, he produced 24.3 points and 11.0 rebounds per game, but that might be just a taste of what he’s capable of.
