NBA: Chet Holmgren outshines Victor Wembanyama in Summer League debut

It is still too early to judge who will be better in the upcoming 2023โ€“2024 regular season, however, during the Summer League, all players want to go out and show that they are in the best shape.

It seems that Victor Wembanyama was not as lethal as some expected during his first game in the 2023 Summer League, although it would be unfair to judge him after an offseason game where he is just showing his skill, but other rookies like Chet Holmgren did not waste the opportunity to show their top form.

Wembanyama was supposed to be dominant during his first Summer League game but things didnโ€™t go as most expected but they werenโ€™t bad for him either. Victor is going through a transition from the French League to the NBA.

On the other hand, Chet Holmgren is back after suffering an injury to one of his feet that left him out of action for a while and despite the fact that critics said that he was not going to be the same after the injury, Chet showed everything contrary.
