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.

Victor Wembanyama finished with 34 points, seven rebounds, two assists, one steal and three blocks while shooting 13/23 from the field and 6/14 from the three-point range in 37 minutes of playing time.

Last season, the most 3-pointers Wemby made in a game was five. This season, he has pushed his personal best to eight, and tonight's win was his fourth game with more than five makes from deep.
