Victor Wembanyama dribbles through the paint and hammers home a dunk. There is a time and a place.
Victor Wembanyama was the youngest Most Valuable Player in the French league's All-Star game.
The All-Star France team won 136-128 against the All-Star World team in the annual contest between French and non- French players.
The first top-five draft pick from France is almost certain to be a 7-footer named Wembanyama.
Since his jaw-dropping performances in two exhibition games in Las Vegas, "Wembamania" has swept France with sold-out games whenever he plays for Metropolitans 92.
The French league's leader is Wembanyama, who has an average of 22.9 points and 9.6 rebound per game. He was an 18-year-old at the time. His 19th birthday is on Wednesday.
He had a streak of four consecutive 30-or-more-point games.
The international career of Wembanyama got off to a great start, with 39 points scored and 13 rebound in two games for France.
France plays two countries in February.
