What did Wembanyama's stat line actually look like last season?

Across 64 games, Wembanyama averaged 25.0 points, 11.5 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.0 steals and 3.1 blocks in 29.2 minutes. He shot 51.2 percent from the field, 34.9 percent on 5.5 three-point attempts and 82.7 percent from the line. In four of his final five games, extra bench-unit minutes pushed him past 20 points a night.

How efficient was he for that volume?

His usage rate reached 31.6 percent, among the heaviest offensive loads on the roster, yet his true shooting still landed at 62.6 percent. That combination, high volume with high efficiency, is rare for a player his size and age, and it held up without cutting into his defensive workload.

What do the defensive and net numbers show?

San Antonio's defensive rating with Wembanyama on the floor was 103.6, and its net rating with him was 17.0 to an offensive rating of 120.5. His rebound rate sat at 18.6 percent. Air Alamo's Ty Small has argued his next leap may come from passing rather than scoring.

Is passing really the next step for him?

Wembanyama's assist rate was 17.0 percent last season, modest next to his scoring and defensive marks. Air Alamo's Jahlil Williams has written that Wembanyama should not have to solve the scoring problem by himself, pointing at the surrounding cast rather than at Wembanyama as the answer.

Where do his contract and health stand entering camp?

Wembanyama is not on the injury report. His deal pays $16.9 million this season, then jumps to $43.5 million in 2027-28 and climbs each year to $57.4 million by 2031-32, tying a long-term price tag to the production he already posted last season.

The verdictThe numbers already justify the star billing. What changes his ceiling this season is more playmaking and a lighter personal scoring burden, not louder individual stats.
