Spurs center Victor Wembanyama is launching three-pointer after three-pointer, but that could very well be by design.

Victor Wembanyama is only in the second year of his NBA career, and he's continued stand out from the rest of the league in many ways. Of course, his 7'4" height is one of those things, but Los Angeles Lakers coach JJ Redick pointed out another part of the San Antonio Spurs star's game that makes him different against the rest.

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.

After starting 4-5 through the opening nine contests, the 20-year-old's improved play has helped the Spurs secure four wins in their last six games.

Victor Wembanyama scored 34 points, rookie Stephon Castle matched a season high with 23 and the San Antonio Spurs beat the Utah Jazz 128-115 in an NBA Cup game on Tuesday night. The 7-foot-3 Wembanyama made six 3-pointers and shot 13 of 23 from the field.

SALT LAKE CITY (ABC4 Sports) – 17 games into the NBA season, the Utah Jazz and San Antonio Spurs have already played each other four times, and the Jazz have to be glad they don’t have to see Victor Wembanyama again this season.

The NBA has some excellent centers littered around its cities, and Victor Wembanyama is rapidly ascending its hierarchy. This crop of pivots is not as powerful as those of the 1980s and 1990s, but it’s still a noteworthy group because of the versatility of many.
