Victor Wembanyama isn't good or mature enough to be the face of the NBA — at least not yet
Before the start of the NBA Finals, a number of analysts and reporters anointed Victor Wembanyama as the new "face of the NBA."
They had plenty of reasons to do so. Wembanyama is only 22-years-old. At 7-foot-4 with guard-like ball-handling skills and a smooth jump shot, he is unlike any player the NBA has ever produced. He also led the Spurs to the NBA Finals in just his third professional season.
But through four games, with the Knicks holding a commanding 3-1 series lead, Wembanyama has done little to justify the hype.
