Wembanyama can quickly steal title for best ever in this category

Victor Wembanyama is positioned not only to dominate on the NBA court but also to significantly impact fantasy basketball, potentially breaking all-time records. His unique combination of skills makes him exceptionally valuable in the fantasy realm, which rewards players who fill the stat sheet comprehensively.

Offensively, Wembanyama is expected to elevate his game beyond his rookie season average of 24.6 points per game. With his initial experimental period over and the Spurs aiming for playoff contention, he is projected to become a more efficient and driven scorer. Analysts predict he could average between 26 to 30 points per game in the upcoming season, potentially placing him in the NBA's top 10 scorers.

Wembanyama's fantasy value is further amplified by his extraordinary defensive production, particularly shot-blocking. Averaging an "absurd" 3.7 blocks per game through his first two seasons – a level of dominance unseen in decades – provides a massive boost in fantasy leagues where defensive stats are highly rewarded. This elite defense, combined with his scoring, rebounding, and playmaking, gives him an unparalleled advantage.

Due to the relatively recent popularity of fantasy basketball, legendary players like Wilt Chamberlain never had their seasons recorded in fantasy metrics. Wembanyama now has the opportunity to set new, potentially unbreakable, fantasy records. Competing against stars like Nikola Jokic, Luka Doncic, and Giannis Antetokounmpo, he possesses all the necessary tools to establish himself as the best fantasy basketball player ever in the upcoming season.
