Victor Wembanyama is a virtual lock to go No. 1 in the looming 2023 NBA Draft.
Despite playing overseas throughout his entire career up to this point, his massive height and unique skillset have turned him into arguably the most talked-about prospect since LeBron James.
Currently, Wembanyama is averaging 22.1 points, 9.5 rebounds and 3.1 blocks per game for the Metropolitans 92 in the LNB Pro A league. While most expect him to come into the NBA and dominate in similar fashion, one physical attribute continues to be seen as a red flag when it comes to him: his skinny frame.
Wembanyama appears to have heard the criticism and is looking to resolve it.
This past week, the 19-year-old took to Instagram to share some workout photos him. To say that he is getting absolutely jacked would probably be an understatement.
From a talent perspective, Wembanyama possesses all the skills one would need for success.
The way he completely styles on the competition with regularity is telling.

There has been a lot of speculation regarding how tall Wembanyama truly is. He attempted to settle the debate once and for all, but it won’t be official until NBA teams get a real measurement for him.
Recently, photos of him from when he was 11 years old leaked out. They caused quite the stir.
The photos speak for themselves. https://t.co/TLuWhEMZNO

It will be interesting to see which team ultimately ends up with the first overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft. Michael Jordan has made his feelings on Wembanyama clear, but it seems unlikely that the Charlotte Hornets will be able to get that top selection.
Whoever does end up getting Wembanyama will be getting a truly special player, though. If he is already as good as he is and is still committed to becoming stronger for the NBA, you know his work ethic is legit.
