Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson sees a very bright future for Victor Wembanyama.

Clarkson made a bold claim about Wembanyama on X during Saturday's gold-medal game between France and the United States.

Wembanyama already won the 2023-24 NBA Rookie of the Year title after averaging 21.4 points, 10.6 rebounds, 3.9 assists, and an NBA-leading 3.6 blocks per game in his first campaign with the San Antonio Spurs.

Clarkson isn't the only NBA player who thinks Wembanyama is capable of winning multiple awards. Los Angeles Lakers guard D'Angelo Russell recently said that Wembanyama should've walked away with more hardware last season.

Wembanyama finished with a game-high 26 points and added seven rebounds and two assists as France fell 98-87 to Team USA on Saturday.
