Irrespective of some confusion over the previous calendar year, the correct peak of Spurs’ No. 1 pick Victor Wembanyama has formally been recorded.
The Frenchman stands at 7’ 3 1/2” devoid of any shoes on, the Spurs confirmed on Wednesday.
This peak places Wembanyama 50 % an inch shorter than what the NBA formerly detailed him at ahead of the NBA draft. Having said that, he’s slightly taller than the 7’ 3 1/4” inches he was listed at back in October when he was taking part in in Las Vegas for two exhibition games with his French crew, Metropolitans 92.
Heading into the 2023–24 period, the San Antonio rookie will formally be the second tallest player in the league behind Clippers middle Boban Marjanović, who stands at 7’4”.
Wembanyama is predicted to make his Spurs’ Summer season League debut on July 7 when he and San Antonio will confront the Hornets and No. 2 pick Brandon Miller.
The French phenom is becoming a member of a Spurs staff that went 22–60 previous season, the franchise’s worst report since 1997.
