Former LA Lakers player Danny Green shared his thoughts on Victor Wembanyama. Now in his third NBA season, Wembanyama is proving to be the best and scariest player the league has seen in years. His numbers compared to his first two seasons have increased significantly and could arguably be good enough to aim for the MVP award this season.Apparently, Green acknowledges the talent Wembanayama has and compares him to the likes of NBA legend Wilt Chamberlain. During a segment of the "No Fouls Given and Playmaker" podcast, Green, alongside NBA legend Paul Pierce, talked about the potential Wemby has. "He's the modern day Wilt (Chamberlain) bro," Green said of Wembanyama.The former NBA stars then also compared him to LeBron James. To them, Victor Wembanyama is the best basketball prospect since James back in the early 2000s. While it might be too early to determine Wemby's greatness, there's no denying the dominance the towering Frenchman has shown so far this season. Looking at his average in the first four games, Wembanyama has put up insane figures. He's currently averaging 31.0 points, 13.8 rebounds, 4.8 blocks and 1.5 steals, while shooting an impressive 60.3% from the field. Wemby is a massive figure who can play both offense and defense efficiently. Former NBA player makes bold Victor Wembanyama predictionVictor Wembanyama has the basketball world in awe after showing monstrous performances in his first four games of his third NBA season. While many already expected him to be a great player in the league, Wembanyama is exceeding expectations.Given his video game-like numbers, other NBA figures believe that Wembanyama could be considered one of the all-time greats once his career is over. Former NBA player Kendrick Perkins boldly claimed that Wemby will one day be part of the GOAT conversation next to Michael Jordan and LeBron James. "15 to 20 years from now, the G.O.A.T. conversation is going to go like this: [Michael Jordan], [LeBron James], and [Victor Wembanyama]," Perkins said. "Those are the three names that are going to come up in the G.O.A.T. conversation. Because if this man stays healthy, he's going to be, arguably, the best defensive player we've ever seen."So far, the San Antonio Spurs are undefeated this season thanks to Wembanyama's efforts. If all goes well against the Miami Heat on Thursday, the Spurs will make history as it'll be the first time they'll go 5-0 to start a season.
