On Tuesday night in Los Angeles, Victor Wembanyama had a 40-point game against a depleted Lakers.<\/p>\n
25 of those points came in the first quarter giving Wemby the third highest scoring quarter in Spurs history behind George Gervin (33 points in 1978) and David Robinson (28 in 1994).<\/p>\n
37 of Wemby\u2019s 40 came in the first half. He wrapped up the 40 with a single three-pointer in the 3rd quarter. Overall he closed out his night in 26 minutes and 6 seconds.<\/p>\n
This was Victor\u2019s sixth 40-point game, pushing him past Tim Duncan. Let that resonate for a minute. Wemby has more 40-point games in just over 150 games than Big Fundamental had over his 19 year career.<\/p>\n
The sky is the limit with Victor Wembnyama. And with a supporting cast consisting of the reigning Western Conference Player of the Week Stephon Castle (see 40-point triple-double) as well as NBA 6th Man hopeful Keldon Johnson, and the inaugural NBA Clutch Player of the Year De\u2019Aaron Fox, the Spurs are having quite a season.<\/p>\n
Brian Windhorst said it best, \u201cWe don\u2019t put ceilings on Victor Wembanyama. If you say to me \u2018Can Victor Wembanyama do X?\u2019 my answer almost always is going to be \u2018yes.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
