Wembanyama continues to evolve beyond scoring

Victor Wembanyama continues to demonstrate that his impact on the basketball court extends far beyond putting points on the scoreboard.

During the San Antonio Spurs' 102-98 preseason defeat against the Phoenix Suns, the French superstar recorded 13 points and six assists, showcasing an increasingly versatile offensive game.

While his extraordinary height, defensive instincts and scoring ability have already established him as one of the NBA's most unique talents, Wembanyama is developing another dimension to his game: playmaking.

Against Phoenix, the 22-year-old showed his ability to create opportunities for his teammates, read defensive situations and contribute to San Antonio's offensive rhythm without necessarily being the primary scoring option.

As the Spurs prepare for the 2026/27 NBA season, Wembanyama's continued development as a facilitator could become a valuable asset for head coach Mitch Johnson.

For a player already capable of dominating both ends of the floor, the evolution of his passing and decision-making adds another layer to an increasingly complete skill set.

And for Wembanyama, the ceiling still appears remarkably high.
