Not many players would try and dunk over Victor Wembanyama. You have to catch him at the right angle, maybe with his head turned, to have any chance to get something by the NBA's leading shot blocker.
Earlier in the game, Wembanyama (13 points, 12 rebounds, eight blocks) was on the wrong end of another poster dunk. He was victimized by Grizzlies rookie Zach Edey, who also had bad intentions against the young phenom.
One of those rivalries is none other than Memphis Grizzlies rookie Zach Edey and San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama. At only 21 years old, Wembanyama is already being looked at as the future face of the league.
Everyone stops but Ja. He made up his mind that he was dunking on Big Vic right there, no matter what happens next. Meanwhile, Wemby isn’t even fully in position. He slows on his rotation because of the whistle and then gives a half-hearted contest once Morant is in the air and jumping into his chest.
Memphis Grizzlies big man Zach Edey isn't exactly a frontrunner for this season's Rookie of the Year title. However, the 22-year-old center has been making waves in his own right as he's played a considerable role in the Grizzlies currently holding the No. 3 seed in the Western Conference.

Zach Edey and the Memphis Grizzlies took on the Houston Rockets on Monday night. In their previous win over the Minnesota Timberwolves last Saturday, the Grizzlies rookie nearly notched a double-double performance. Edey added eight points, nine rebounds and one block as he helped his team secure a nail-biting 127-125 win.
Victor Wembanyama may be the single most imposing rim protector in NBA history. He's only in his second season, but his combination of elite athleticism for his size, stellar shot-blocking instincts and absurd eight-foot wingspan makes him a nearly impenetrable obstacle for drivers at the basket.
