Victor Wembanyama accumulates counting stats (Pts+Reb+Ast+Stl+Blk) at a rate faster than any player in NBA history.
While this stat favors a strong scorer+rebounder, which Wemby certainly is, it’s pretty crazy that someone whose signature is defensive impact is outpacing the game’s greats at putting up raw numbers. Last night it was 40+13+5+1+2 = 61 in just 26 minutes. That gives him 6 of the 15 best games this season in terms of per-minute productivity.
Even just looking at raw scoring per minute, he’s now 5th all time firmly among the greatest scorers of all time.
