Victor Wembanyama may only be a 20-year-old rookie, but he's already arguably the most entertaining player to watch in the NBA.

Even in a game between the Memphis Grizzlies and San Antonio Spurs, two lower-seeded teams, Victor Wembanyama figured out a way to go viral and make it must-watch.

Against the shorthanded Grizzlies, Victor Wembanyama put up 18 points, 7 rebounds, 7 blocks, and 6 assists on 47% shooting. He may have struggled from the field, but the defensive performance that Wembanyama put up showed why he deserved legitimate Defensive Player of the Year consideration. Over his last four games Wembanyama is averaging 6.5 blocks per game, and has been an absolute monster. He's already had 24 games with a minimum of 5 blocks this season.

The Memphis Grizzlies ultimately lost the game against the Spurs 102-87, but there was one unexpected pleasant surprise - Jordan Goodwin. Goodwin put up a surprising 10 points, 19 rebounds, and 5 assists against the Spurs. Goodwin's averages this season are 6.1 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 2.7 assists on 38% shooting from the field.

There was essentially nothing at stake between the 13th-seeded Grizzlies and 15th-seeded Spurs on Tuesday night. Ja Morant, Desmond Bane, Jaren Jackson Jr., Marcus Smart, and Derrick Rose were among some of the star players unavailable for the game, but Victor Wembanyama still made it worth the watch.
