NBA: “Victor Wembanyama? It’s an avatar version of…

 

Victor Wembanyama en interview avec les Spurs

Victor Wembanyama continues to impress observers within the NBA. This is the case for players, just like coaches, beyond Gregg Popovich. The one from the Raptors did not hesitate to make a funny comparison for the Frenchman.

How to stop a 2m24 player capable of shining in the majority of areas? This is the question the Raptors must ask themselves right now. Victor Wembanyama struck a big blow earlier in the week by dominating the Suns twice, and count on him to try to do it again this Sunday evening against the Canadian franchise. And this despite a notable absence.

With Devin Vassell injured, Gregg Popovich’s men could rely a little more on Wemby. Nothing to bother the Frenchman, determined to help his team win. This is why Toronto will have to be wary during this match, like coach Darko Rajaković. He is also banking on a fairly physical level to slow down Victor in this part.

Wembanyama again compared to a superstar

We don’t know if the Raptors’ plan will work, especially since stopping Wemby promises to be a difficult mission. Rajaković nonetheless remains very impressed by the player’s talent, to the point where he compared him to Kevin Durant in a recent interview for The Athletic. So the superstar still finds himself in the same discussion as Wemby.

Rajaković: “It’s the same strategy to slow him down, except that Wembanyama is a few centimeters taller. I watched the game between Phoenix and San Antonio. I know how tall Kevin Durant is. He’s easily 2m13. The NBA lists him at 2m08 but he is at least 2m13 and yet he is so small if we compare him to Wembanyama. He’s an avatar version of Kevin Durant. »

We imagine that Victor must take the whole thing as a compliment, even if we must recognize that the coach is not wrong. We were able to compare the size between the two players and KD looks very small next to the Frenchman. A bit like everyone else ultimately. In any case, count on Wemby to use his size to dominate the Raptors…

An avatar version of Kevin Durant? We imagine that this is a positive comment from the Raptors coach for Victor Wembanyama. He did not hide his admiration for the Frenchman, even if there will be no gifts on the floor. And so much the better.
