Rebounds per game

With San Antonio only playing two traditional bigs next season, who will grab the most rebounds per game will come down to Wembanyama and Zach Collins. Wembanyama obviously has the edge, however, with him likely to play around 33 minutes per game next season, nearly doubling up Collins' projected minutes.

That should result in Wembanyama leading the team in rebounds per game. Last season, he averaged 10.6 rebounds in 29.6 minutes and should average closer to 11.1 boards next season. Playing with more spacing on offense should help him snag offensive rebounds with only the opposing big man in the paint to coral boards.

If that is the case, then he could be not only the team's leading rebounder but also rank in the top five in the NBA in rebounds per game next season. That would be a surprising development.

This is considering that many expected him not to be ready to play center due to the position's physicality for at least the first couple of seasons of his career. Be that as it may, he could be one of the league's best rebounders by then, proving that he is already ahead of schedule.

Prediction: Wembanyama- 11.1 rebounds per game
