A shaved head appears to suit Victor Wembanyama.

In the San Antonio Spurs' 119-101 win over the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday, Wembanyama continued on a historic pace as the Spurs pulled into a tie with the Denver Nuggets for second place in the Western Conference.

Wembanyama recorded a 22-point, 10-rebound double-double in 22 minutes against the Bucks. He hit five 3-pointers, blocked two shots and was a plus-27 in that time frame. Milwaukee had no answers for the third-year phenom.

A 20-10 double-double isn't anything new for Wembanyama. But the efficiency at which he's getting there has never been seen before in NBA history.

Wembanyama is averaging 23.9 points and 10.9 rebounds while playing only 28.7 minutes per game. That's the fewest minutes ever for a player averaging at least 20 points and 10 rebounds.

What's even scarier for the rest of the NBA is the fact that Wembanyama is nowhere close to a finished product.

He has the Spurs on a 56-win pace at the season's halfway point, and he isn't even playing 30 minutes per game.
