在圣安东尼奥之外的专家眼中，维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 的评价仍在持续攀升。在ESPN公布的2026年NBA球员实力榜中，这位马刺内线巨星高居第二，仅次于尼古拉·约基奇 (Nikola Jokic)。
文班在2025年的榜单中位列第五，但他经历了一个极其出色的赛季——不仅全票当选年度最佳防守球员，还率队杀入总决赛，这让他一举超越了扬尼斯·阿德托昆博 (Giannis Antetokounmpo)、卢卡·东契奇 (Luka Doncic) 以及新科常规赛MVP谢伊·吉尔杰斯-亚历山大 (Shai Gilgeous-Alexander)。
看到文班亚马名列大多数球员排行榜的前茅并不令人意外。ESPN这份榜单出人意料之处在于，他们将约基奇排在榜首，而这位两届MVP得主却屈居第三。例如，The Ringer同样将文班排在第二，但占据头把交椅的则是吉尔杰斯-亚历山大。由本·戈利弗 (Ben Golliver)、文森特·古德威尔 (Vincent Goodwill)、扎克·克拉姆 (Zach Kram)、鲍比·马克斯 (Bobby Marks)、戴夫·麦克梅纳明 (Dave McMenamin)、安德烈·斯内林斯 (André Snellings) 以及马特·“数据”·威廉姆斯 (Matt “Stats” Williams) 组成的话语权小组预计文班亚马还将迎来更大的成长，这或许可以解释他为何能排在SGA之上：
“外星人”在肉眼可见的赛场统治力和高阶数据两方面都交出了满分答卷。在2025-26赛季，他通过减少三分出手、增加内线攻筐，进一步提升了自己的得分效率。在常规赛领跑全联盟盖帽榜和防守胜利贡献值之后，文班亚马在个人首次季后赛之旅中交出了高达+12.9的优异百回合净胜分。对对手而言，究竟什么更令人生畏：是他那7英尺4英寸（或是7尺5、7尺6？）的身躯，还是他那惊人的进化速度？
尽管绝大多数人都会将约基奇、文班亚马和吉尔杰斯-亚历山大排在前三（只是位次有所不同），因此ESPN榜单的顶端排名并没有太大争议，但在更靠后的名次中出现了一些耐人寻味的评选。正如我们之前所提到的，德文·瓦塞尔 (Devin Vassell) 竟然没能挤进前100，甚至连荣誉提名都未获得，这看起来像是一个疏漏。马刺阵中其他三位跻身榜单的球员分别是：位列第50位的迪伦·哈珀 (Dylan Harper)、第43位的达龙·福克斯 (De’Aaron Fox)，以及排在第38位的斯蒂芬·卡斯尔 (Stephon Castle)。
如果2026-27赛季的发展符合预期，文班亚马在下赛季的榜单中加冕全联盟第一人，将完全在情理之中。

ESPN ranks Victor Wembanyama as the second-best player in the NBA
Victor Wembanyama’s rise in the eyes of experts outside of San Antonio continues. The Spurs’ big man finished second, behind only Nikola Jokic, in ESPN’s 2026 NBA player rankings.
Wemby was ranked fifth in the 2025 edition, but his great season, which included a unanimous Defensive Player of the Year award and a trip to the Finals, propelled him past Giannis Antetokounmpo, Luka Doncic, and reigning MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
It’s not a surprise to see Wembanyama at the top of most player rankings. What’s unexpected about the ESPN ranking is that it has Jokic at the top while the two-time MVP is third. The Ringer also has Wemby second, but Gilgeous-Alexander sits at the top, for example. The panel of Ben Golliver, Vincent Goodwill, Zach Kram, Bobby Marks, Dave McMenamin, André Snellings and Matt “Stats” Williams is projecting more growth from Wembanyama, which could explain why he’s ranked over SGA:
“The Alien” continues to ace the eye test and advanced stats alike, and he boosted his scoring efficiency in 2025-26 by cutting back on his 3-point attempts in favor of paint opportunities. After leading the league in blocks and defensive win shares during the regular season, Wembanyama posted an excellent plus-12.9 net rating during his first playoff run. What’s scarier for opponents: his 7-4 (7-5? 7-6?) frame or his rapid rate of improvement?
While the top of ESPN’s ranking isn’t necessarily controversial since the vast majority of people would have Jokic, Wembanyama and Gilgeous-Alexander in some order, there were some odd choices made in the lower ranks. As we mentioned, Devin Vassell didn’t crack the top 100 and didn’t even get a special mention, which seems like an oversight. The other three Spurs who made the cut were Dylan Harper, ranked 50th, De’Aaron Fox, 43rd, and Stephon Castle, 38th.
If the 2026/27 season goes as expected, it wouldn’t be surprising for Wembanyama to claim the top spot in the ranking next season.
