Inside the Epic Rivalry Shaping the 2026 NBA MVP Race: Assassin or Alien?

Wembanyama averaged 25 points, and if you squint at the shot-type splits you can find things to nitpick. He shot 37.5% out of isolations and 48% out of post-ups, per Synergy. That’s solid, but not the numbers of a guy you’d trust most to bail you out with the shot clock dying. That said, on March 19 against the Suns, down one with a playoff berth on the line, the Spurs put the ball in his hands at the right elbow and cleared out. One long dribble right, one fadeaway over an outstretched arm, and San Antonio was in the postseason.
