3. One-Man Fastbreak

When Giannis Antetokounmpo came into the league, he was skinny, much like Victor Wembanyama, but he lacked the skillset to be effective immediately. However, he eventually became a dominant force in open space. Victor will come into the league with the ability to push the ball up the floor. With his speed, he'll beat most centers in a footrace and be unstoppable on the break.

Few sights would be scarier than a fastbreak led by Wembanyama, and the fact that he can break you down with his handle is just a bonus. He's done it in the French league multiple times this season, and it's bound to happen countless more times throughout his NBA career. The lanky center turns defense into offense in the blink of an eye and is a force of nature in transition.
