We are in the midst of witnessing something truly special in the NBA. Such is the rise of San Antonio Spurs phenom, Victor Wembanyama.

Wemby had a truly historic rookie year (fantasy basketball analyst Dan Titus has more on Wembanyama's unreal achievements here) and many fantasy basketball managers are itching for a chance to draft him.

But how high should you reach for him? Well, if Dan's first batch of category rankings is any indication, the No. 1 pick is the only selection you're guaranteed the chance to select Wembanyama.

Yes, Wemby has supplanted Nikola Jokić in the ranks for the 2024-25 NBA season, but it's not a stretch to see why. Wemby did incredible things for category managers last season, so imagine how he'll perform in just his second season in the NBA.
