TNT (DR) / NBA (DR)

Author of an incredible rookie season, Victor Wembanyama has continued to reap the rewards in recent days. However, its recent spotlight in a recognized American media outlet led Damian Lillard to question himself, giving rise to a viral debate.

After just one year on the other side of the Atlantic, he can already be satisfied with his CV.

Ambitious as possible, Victor Wembanyama has racked up records and individual distinctions thanks to a rookie season in many historic points.

And even if this did not allow him to receive a nice reward in recent hours, his name nevertheless remains associated with excellence in the NBA.

Damian Lillard tackles a ranking dominated by Victor Wembanyama

At just 20 years old, Wembanyama certainly stands out as one of the most talented and promising players in the league.

The Ringer was not mistaken and recently made him… the best player under 25 on the circuit , with supporting arguments.

The rest of the ranking drawn up by the famous US media, however, left a certain Damian Lillard perplexed on social networks:

Ja (Morant) in 10th place🤔

Beyond the fact that Wemby dominates stars such as Anthony Edwards, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander or Luka Doncic in this Top 10, Lillard was surprised to see the name of Ja Morant narrowly included.

It therefore seems obvious that the leader of the Bucks believes that the latter deserved better despite his practically blank 2023-24 season. An opinion seems to be shared by Internet users who criticized this choice and this list:

Serious, this opinion is rubbish

This is the worst ranking in history

Without knowing what place he would have assigned to him, Damian Lillard is surprised to see Ja Morant far behind Victor Wembanyama in the ranking of the 10 best NBA players under 25 years old. And it was not Internet users who contradicted him.
