Wembanyama and Henderson shine in first exhibition matchup

These two 18-year-old prospects put on a show after French club Metropolitans 92 and G League Ignite agreed to play a pair of exhibition games. People hoped for a show and they got it as it was a very entertaining game between the projected number one and number two draft picks.

Victor Wembanyama balled out with 37 points off of 11-of-20 from the field, including 7-of-11 from beyond the arc. Even more impressive than that was him blocking five shots that showed off of his skill and supernatural wingspan.

Scoot Henderson, who showed off his driving abilities and good-looking jump shot, also balled out with 28 points. He went 11-of-21 from the field to guide his team, the Ignite, to a victory.

The final score was 122-115. A very competitive game between the top two prospects of the 2023 NBA Draft.

Many top names surrounding the NBA and WNBA came out to witness a spectacular matchup and limitless talent on display.

According to Jake Fischer, the 23-year-old is currently deciding between two options for the Brooklyn Nets and beyond: sign the qualifying offer this season or sign a two-year deal with Brooklyn.

If Cam Thomas were to sign the qualifying offer, it would guarantee him the reality of being an unrestricted free agent in 2026’s offseason. This is something that has held him down this offseason.

If he were to accept the Nets two-year contract offer, Thomas would only be making $28 million in total and the second year is a team option. The young guard has expressed his desires of earning top-tier money for his statistical production and what he believes he can offer to an organization.

This offseason has shown two things for Thomas: being a restricted free agent has been a nightmare to leave and earn more, and the lack of cap space from interested teams to leave Brooklyn. Thomas has reportedly become intrigued in leaving the Nets to go somewhere else.

Last season, he averaged 24.0 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 3.8 assists per game.

According to Jake Fischer, the Golden State Warriors and former Boston Celtics player Al Horford are close on a contract agreement. However, the Jonathan Kuminga situation is stalling those talks as he wants them to resolve that issue first.

Once the Kuminga issue is dealt with, Horford is expected to sign a two-year, over $11 million deal with the Warriors. He would use the full taxpayer midlevel exception for this upcoming season, which would land him $5.685 million for 2025-26.

The second season would be a player option, as the Warriors are hoping this type of contract is to his liking. Golden State highly values his ability to stretch the floor and being able to switch on defense, especially around the center position.
