Obviously disappointed with the Spurs’ poor series, Victor Wembanyama remains in the running to win the title of rookie of the month (and of the year). His main opponent? Chet Holmgren. In front of journalists, the Frenchman, however, wanted to make things clear.

Again the author of a monster match this week, something never seen before for the NBA, Victor Wembanyama continues to bring happiness to the Spurs. Too bad the victories are absent.

With 12 defeats in a row, Gregg Popovich’s men hope to bounce back quickly, and why not against Atlanta this Thursday. We imagine that Wemby will be keen to win against Trae Young and co.

Wembanyama cashes in on the title of rookie of the month

Another important file for the former Mets? The title of rookie of the month. Wembanyama is on course to win it, but Chet Holmgren is alongside him with a huge start to the season. Does Victor give it importance? No way. In any case, that’s what he told journalists after his training this Tuesday.

Journalist: “Is the rookie of the month title important to you? ”

Wembanyama: “No, not really. Not when we lose. Not at all when you lose. ”

Holmgren may be the favorite with the Thunder winning, but collective results don’t necessarily matter much. Let’s not forget that Chet arrived on a much stronger team for his NBA debut. No matter for Wembanyama, who focuses above all on the success of his team rather than individual trophies.

With a view to winning matches, remember that Popovich could attempt a change of position for the Frenchman. This is what he confirmed to the media, with Victor ready to do anything to taste victory.

The kid is so humble and puts the team first!

Team cohesion +20

The title of rookie of the month? Not important for Victor Wembanyama, especially when Spurs did nothing but lose for the majority of the time. The Frenchman was very clear: he only focuses on collective success.
