It was only a week ago that there were concerns over Victor Wembanyama's slow offensive start to the season. Through his first nine games, he was averaging just 17.7 points on 41.3 percent shooting from the field and 22.

In Wednesday’s 139–130 win over the Washington Wizards, the San Antonio Spurs star erupted for a career-high 50 points on 18-of-29 shooting (including a career-best eight threes on 16 attempts) in only 32 minutes of playing time. It was his third straight game with at least six made threes.

As Wemby showed in his 5x5 games, he has the tools to be a huge part of the Spurs’ passing game — if he can cut back the turnovers.
