Wembanyama is averaging 20.0 points, 12.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 2.7 blocks per contest while shooting 42.9% from the field and 22.2% from the three-point range in three games.

Many believe that he can be an All-Star as soon as this season.

That said, the Spurs are off to a 1-2 start to the new season in their first three games.

On Wednesday, they will resume action when they go up against Chet Holmgren and the Oklahoma City Thunder (in Oklahoma).

Holmgren and Wembanyama are two of the best young stars in the NBA, which makes the matchup highly anticipated.
