Carmelo Anthony weighs in on Victor Wembanyama’s playing style, describing it as the “Evolution of Durant.”

Carmelo Anthony, the former NBA star and host of “7PM in Brooklyn,” recently offered his insight into the comparisons surrounding promising rookie Victor Wembanyama. Anthony highlighted that, in his view, Wembanyama embodies an evolution akin to Kevin Durant rather than resembling a young Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Carmelo Anthony highlighted Victor Wembanyama’s unique playing style, describing it as the “evolution of Durant.” He emphasized Wembanyama’s embodiment of the “KD mold”—a player standing at 6’10”-6’11” with the ability to handle the ball, shoot effectively, and showcase a killer instinct on the court. According to Anthony, Wembanyama excels in areas where Giannis might not, particularly in ball handling and sharpshooting.

The former NBA star underscored the distinct attributes of Wembanyama and Giannis, noting that they bring different elements to the game. Anthony expressed excitement about Wembanyama’s potential and described him as part of the evolution of players like Durant.

Wembanyama, the No. 1 pick in the 2023 NBA Draft for the San Antonio Spurs, has garnered attention for his exceptional skills, including a towering height of 7 feet 4 inches, speed, agility, and versatile playing style. As Wembanyama continues his rookie season, basketball enthusiasts are eager to witness the evolution of his game and the impact he will have on the league.
