You only need one glance at Spurs rookie Victor Wembanyama to realize that the phenom is one of a kind.
Thanks to his incredible play with a professional club in his native France, the 19-year-old came to the United States as one of the most-hyped prospects in sports history. Wembanyama averaged 21.6 points and 10.4 rebounds per game for Metropolitans 92 in the LNB Pro A last season.
The only numbers more eye-popping than Wembanyama's stat lines are his measurements. Wembanyama's height and wingspan often made his opponents look like high schoolers.
The Sporting News breaks down Wembanyama's preposterous measurements below.

Victor Wembanyama measurements
How tall is Victor Wembanyama?
Wembanyama is 7-3, according to the Spurs' official Summer League roster.
While San Antonio lists its rookie at 7-3, ESPN reported in February that he measures at 7-5 with shoes. If the Spurs' measurement came when Wembanyama was barefoot, both measurements could be accurate.
Ahead of the NBA Draft, Wembanyama addressed the question himself, saying that he is 7-3 at an NBA Cares event.
"It gets old. It got old a long time ago," Wembanyama said of the constant questions about his height. "It's OK. I don't mind. It's part of the fun."

Victor Wembanyama wingspan
Wembanyama has an 8-foot wingspan, according to ESPN.
During an appearance on "The Bill Simmons Podcast," ESPN's Brian Windhorst said that Wembanyama can stand with his feet on the ground and "pretty much" touch the rim.
"He's laying up a ball, and his middle finger is, like, four centimeters from the rim. And he's on his flat feet," Windhorst said. "If he went on his tiptoes, he could grab the rim. That's freaky."
Victor Wembanyama hand size
There are no measurements available for Wembanyama's hands, but it's safe to say that they are massive.
"My guess is his hands are bigger than [Kawhi Leonard's]," Windhorst told Simmons. "If they're not longer, it's very, very close."
