Rookie Dylan Harper can’t believe his eyes as Victor Wembanyama cooks Rudy Gobert

With San Antonio leading 108-91 with 4:48 left in the fourth quarter, Wembanyama caught the ball near the elbow. At the time, he was guarded by multiple Wolves players, with Gobert leading the pressure and trying his best to take the ball from Wemby's long hand.

But the 22-year-old is built with immense basketball IQ and he has a massive height advantage. He palmed it, slowed down and sold a shot fake so convincingly that it left Gobert clueless.

Gobetr eventually lost his balance, and before he could recover, Wemby passed to Julian Champagnie under the basket. Since everyone was guarding Wemby, Champagnie easily hit the basket.

During the replay, the broadcast cut to Harper’s stunned reaction. The NBA's official X account shared the clip and penned, "Dylan Harper was impressed!" It matched the reaction of everyone watching Wembanyama outsmart his former mentor.

Harper added 12 points and 10 rebounds off the bench in San Antonio's 126-97 victory. With the solid performance, he passed Derrick Rose as the youngest guard in NBA history to record multiple playoff double-doubles.

Game 6 will tip off on Friday in Minneapolis, where the Timberwolves face elimination. Gobert must find a way to contain his former student to save Minnesota's season.
