Famous reporter: Wen Ban’s leap in his third season is phenomenal. Reducing his three-point shots is key.

October 29th Recently, ESPN reporter Brian Windhorst talked about the player who has surprised him the most so far this season.

Windhorst: I've seen superstars take leaps in their third season. LeBron James finished second in MVP voting in his third season. Luka Doncic led the Mavericks to the playoffs for the first time, Kobe Bryant was selected to the All-NBA Team for the first time, and there are many more examples like this. But what Victor Vunbanyama showed was on another level.

He decided (and this was crucial) not to save the team by shooting threes. Yes, the whole world knows that he is not a traditional "center", and don't ask him what his actual height is. He is a basketball player. Every step he takes towards the basket adds an unstoppable edge.

Bunban Yama went from averaging nearly nine three-pointers per game to less than three. This is a huge change. He is already a defensive genius with an impact on the times. Now, he's on the verge of becoming one of the best offensive players in the league.
