Will “The Alien” rocket the Spurs into outer space this season?
Victor Wembanyama is entering his third season with the Spurs, after being the No. 1 pick in the 2023 NBA Draft.
So far, in his short career, the 7-foot-3 budding superstar has been named Rookie of the Year, an All-Star, a first-team All-Defensive selection and has led the NBA in blocks in both of his professional seasons.
What he hasn’t accomplished, however, is taking San Antonio to the playoffs, among other individual accolades.
Is this the year Wemby and the Spurs challenge for an NBA title? Will he finally win Defensive Player of the Year? What about MVP?
Let’s take a look at Wembanyama’s odds as of Oct. 9 at FanDuel Sportsbook, as well as what to know.
