Victor Wembanyama is bolstering MVP case by taking his scoring to another level

Air Alamo's Cal Durrett argues that San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama has entered the MVP race following a 52-point performance against the Dallas Mavericks. Through the first 10 games of the season, Wembanyama is averaging 29.1 points per game after simplifying his offensive approach to focus more on rolling to the basket and taking three-pointers.

Durrett views the MVP race as primarily between Wembanyama, Oklahoma City's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and Los Angeles Lakers star Luka Doncic. The writer suggests that combining Wembanyama's increased scoring output with elite defense and team success could make him the award frontrunner if his efficiency normalizes.
