Victor Wembanyama is one of the biggest stars in the NBA right now. He has evolved his game this season and is playing on a totally different level. This season, Wemby is averaging the best numbers of his three-year career. Some of the other names at the peak of their prowess are Nikola Jokic, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Luka Doncic.
Jokic’s Nuggets, Shai’s OKC, and Luka’s Lakers have all been in top form this season. OKC is first in the Western Conference with a 24-2 record, while the Nuggets are second with an 18-6 record, and the Lakers are fourth with a 17-7 record. Despite Giannis’ good form, the Bucks are struggling with an 11-15 record.
There is no doubt that these are the four best players in the league right now. However, Victor Wembanyama recently gave his verdict on the best player in the NBA at the moment.
“I think Jokic is the best offensive player. I don’t think he’s the best player. It’s hard to say, I think it’s between Giannis and Shai. When I come back on the court, I think it will be me,” Wembanyama said.
Here are the stats comparison among the five:
Victor Wembanyama – 25.8 points, 12.6 rebounds, 3.8 assists
Giannis Antetokounmpo – 28.9 points, 10.1 rebounds, 6.1 assists

Nikola Jokic – 29.5 points, 12.3 rebounds, 10.9 assists
