Wembanyama has only attempted 40 shots at the rim in half-court situations over his first 14 games, a remarkably low number for 7+ footers. (alien.top)

What do you think about his stat? I think the games he focused on being a blue collar rim runner he did amazing. I don't think this is only the Spurs fault or lack of point guard, he is enamoured of playing like a wing, which to me is the origin of most of his inefficiencies on offense.

Same story in France, his efficiency numbers were not great compared to other top European prospects, in large part because he took a lot of 3s while shooting them poorly. And while his FT% was good, he hardly got to the line at all. His NBA stats are looking similar.

Although given how much better the NBA is than the French league, it probably does bode well for his trajectory if he's able to put up the same numbers in the NBA as a rookie that he did in France last year.

This is straight up not true.
