Recently, Gilbert Arenas talked about whether Wembanyama is expected to win the regular season MVP on his show, saying that he has a chance to do so if he can fulfill the demanding criteria he set forth.

Gilbert Arenas said, "If he averages 25 to 27 points, 10 to 12 rebounds and blocks per game, and he's DPOY, and he helps the Spurs win, then yes, he can be the MVP. Then yes, he can be the MVP."
