After struggling in his NBA Summer League debut last Friday, Victor Wembanyama played his second game Sunday night against the Portland Trail Blazers.
Wemby put up a big double-double of 27 points and 12 rebounds, shooting 9-14 from the field. He also added a steal and three blocks.
Here’s how NBA Twitter reacted live to his performance.

Wemby has shown an insane amount of feeling with his game. Tons of quick decisions and well above average reading for a great. One more thing about him that is insanely good
β Rusty Buckets (@RustyBUCKETS321) 10 July 2023
Wembanyama is unselfish and has great vision, good qualities for a guy who will draw about a billion double teams in his career.

Wemby would have 10 assists if his teammates could hit a shot.

So why are the Spurs behind when Wemby has 17 points, 8 boards and 2 blocks? Branham and Champagnie are having off nights, going a combined 0 of 14 from the field.

Wemby’s ability to make mistakes will be something Spurs desperately missed the last two seasons.

Wemby and Chet are guaranteed to enter the NBA as top 3 rim protectors lol

Victor Wembanyama with 22 points, 10 rebounds and 2 blocks on 64% shooting in 22 minutes. Perhaps one match wasn’t the end of Wemby’s career… pic.twitter.com/qCc9vsgMXL

(I’d like Wemby to claim the ball. Like, fully extend the arm and call for it.)
β Nekias (Nuh-KY-us) Duncan (@NekiasNBA) 10 July 2023
personally i’d say that wemby is actually good

Wemby catches in the paint, fades for the jumper, swish.
Giant auxiliary side block at the other end.
Takeover time for late game.

Wemby balls. Love to see it.
Now put him in bubble wrap. Great last impression in Las Vegas.
β James L. Edwards III (@JLEdwardsIII) 10 July 2023
Wemby shows the world why overreacting to a summer league game is ridiculous.
β Bonta Hill (@BontaHill) 10 July 2023
27 & 12 for Wemby and it was probably a B game for him lol
β Nekias (Nuh-KY-us) Duncan (@NekiasNBA) 10 July 2023
Then everyone can see how stupid people were to call Wemby a bust after a match..
And also crowned him after another fight
β #1 ranked snitch ref (@DevInTheLab) 10 July 2023
