After 8-of-16 3-point shooting was instrumental in the first 50-point game of the 20-year-old’s young career in a win over the Washington Wizards on Nov. 13, fellow long-range bomber Julian Champagnie, 38 of 111 on 3s this season, endorsed Wembanyama’s emulation of Steph Curry.

After starting 4-5 through the opening nine contests, the 20-year-old's improved play has helped the Spurs secure four wins in their last six games.
