NBA – Vincent Poirier talks about Victor Wembanyama: “That’s not great, but…

Les deux intérieurs de l'équipe de France, Vincent Poirier du Real Madrid et Victor Wembanyama des Spurs

Even in the biggest club in Europe, Real Madrid, Victor Wembanyama is at the heart of the debates. In any case, this is what the insider of the France team Vincent Poirier explained, and he gave a clear opinion on the start of the career of the Spurs prodigy.

While the Joel Embiid soap opera is now over, since he will play with Team USA next summer, the French basketball team can still be confident as the Olympic Games approach.

Indeed, its domestic sector will have nothing to envy of that of the Americans and the Spanish, both in terms of talent and quantity of players.

Already, the two starters could be Victor Wembanyama and Rudy Gobert, who are neither more nor less than two of the best defenders in the NBA.

The latter is currently having the best season of his career and could arrive in Paris with full confidence, when the Spurs prodigy will necessarily be highlighted by Vincent Collet, who had him under his command for 1 year at the Metropolitans.

Vincent Poirier talks about the Wembanyama case

And behind these two monsters, we find talents like Guerschon Yabusele and Vincent Poirier, who are playing in the EuroLeague with Real Madrid.

While on Tony Parker’s show on Skweek, the former Celtics man gave his opinion on the last No. 1 in the Draft. Obviously, it has given him renewed interest in the NBA on a daily basis.

I don’t normally watch the NBA too much, but now in the morning I put on the match summaries to see what the French are doing.

Especially with Victor Wembanyama now, you see him everywhere no matter what. And then there is Bilal Coulibaly too.

We talk about Victor with our teammates, we wonder if his career will go in this or that direction.

For example, I see his percentage, it’s not great, but I also tell myself that he takes a lot of complicated shots, it’s the first year… Is he going to continue like that, is he will it explode? We try to debate a little but we all agree that it’s going to be incredible.

I know people who know him well, I know the mentality he has. It’s hard to fail with this mentality.

Even at Real Madrid, the biggest club in Europe, Victor Wembanyama is at the heart of the debates in the locker room.

The players wonder if he will reach his full potential one day, if he will improve his percentage at some point, like absolutely all fans of the orange ball in the end.

Vincent Poirier could in any case form his opinion next summer by meeting him during the Games.

Vincent Poirier and his Real Madrid teammates have no doubt that Victor Wembanyama will one day be a great NBA player.

In any case, they are following his development with particular attention, which shows the aura of the Spurs teenager.
