Victor Wembanyama's proportions barely exist in the human record: a standing reach near ten feet and an eight-foot wingspan on a 7-foot-4 frame. On several attributes at once he is not one-in-thousands but one-in-hundreds-of-thousands rare, the kind of body that reshapes what a basketball player can physically do.
