San Antonio Spurs rookie phenom Victor Wembanyama was reaching into his bag of tricks during Wednesday night’s tilt against the Detroit Pistons.

Although the matchup consisted of two of the NBA’s lowliest teams, Wembanyama made sure to entertain fans, showing off an arsenal of impressive passes.

Three of his dimes in particular left NBA fans awestruck, and they couldn’t have been more different.

On the first pass, Wembanyama acted as the Spurs’ quarterback, rifling a full-court pass on the money to Jeremy Sochan, who threw down a dunk on the fast break.

Later in the game, Wembanyama left Pistons’ Bojan Bogdanovic looking silly as he slipped a bounce pass between the forward’s legs, leading to an easy layup for Julian Champagnie. 

Wembanyama added another highlight reel pass shortly after, as he dropped a behind-the-back dime to Sochan for another easy bucket during the third quarter.

NBA fans were bewildered by Wembanyama’s pair of sensational passes, as he commanded the floor like a point guard despite his 7’4” frame.
