The 18-year-old French prodigy Oscar Wembanyama recently scored 16 points, dished out five assists, and pulled down four rebounds for SIG Strasbourg — Espoirs Élite. He is a dynamic player with a 6-5 stature and a 6-8 wingspan who can score at all three levels. In his most recent game, he shot a perfect 7-for-7.Oscar Wembanyama, an 18-year-old who plays for Strasbourg’s youth team, is gradually gaining recognition. Victor Wembanyama, the star of the San Antonio Spurs, had a record-breaking performance this past weekend.Oscar is receiving more attention because of his physical similarities and relationship to his brother. His first season in the juvenile divisions was marred by injuries, but he averaged 8.9 points, 53% FG, 4.1 rebounds, and 3.2 assists in 24 minutes.The following is mentioned in some scouting reports that discuss the younger Wembanyama’s game and traits:“Oscar has shown great fluidity for his size, fluid footwork, and a shooting style very similar to Victor’s—high release, clean mechanics, and excellent balance. He continues to develop overall, at his own pace, and is forging his own identity, demonstrating clear long-term potential.”Oscar has only played professionally for two whole seasons; this year is his third. He is currently a starter for the Espoirs and is shooting 36% from three and 52% from the field, demonstrating early indications that he will develop into a polished, well-rounded player. Oscar, like his older brother, has a strong defensive presence and can score from a variety of spots on the court.Oscar might be chosen in the late second round of the 2026 NBA Draft if he decides to start his NBA career early, even if he isn’t currently predicted as a top-30 pick. A possible Wembanyama family reunion in the Alamo City is more likely than fans may realize because the Spurs have three second-round picks in the 2017 draft, which is convenient for San Antonio.Oscar has shown a high-level feel for the game in nine games this season, averaging 8.9 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 1.9 steals per game. Spurs supporters should keep a careful eye on Oscar’s draft status even though he hasn’t made any decisions.Also read: Victor Wembanyama injury update: San Antonio Spurs face sudden shift as star player’s injury setback stirs unresolved questions
