There are many ways to assess and analyze the possibilities for, and trajectory of, Victor Wembanyama's burgeoning career. But the most interesting, and perhaps most telling, might be through the lens of the all-time great he plays against Wednesday night: LeBron James.

After 8-of-16 3-point shooting was instrumental in the first 50-point game of the 20-year-old’s young career in a win over the Washington Wizards on Nov. 13, fellow long-range bomber Julian Champagnie, 38 of 111 on 3s this season, endorsed Wembanyama’s emulation of Steph Curry.

Mamba mentality? It hasn't taken long for the San Antonio Spurs superstar to prove he's all about putting in the work.
