NBA – Wembanyama’s huge habit at Spurs since his arrival: “For 1 hour, he…
It didn’t take long for Victor Wembanyama to make a splash since arriving in the NBA. The Frenchman is a pleasure to see, but his performances are not the result of chance. He works a lot to achieve all this, as journalist Jeff McDonald reveals.
Even if he was not crowned rookie of the month, Victor Wembanyama remains one of the biggest attractions in the NBA at the start of the season. The Frenchman has assumed his status as number 1 in the draft with his prowess, although he obviously still has a lot to accomplish. Wemby knows this perfectly, which is why he makes sure to work hard in training to achieve great feats with Spurs.

For such a big player, it is important to put even more effort into the gym. Wembanyama is relentless behind the scenes, to the point where he spends a lot of time with the Spurs staff to continue to get a little better. He was seen with Gregg Popovich and the coaches on Monday, long after the other players had left.

If some were wondering, yes, Popovich’s coaching with Wembanyama has already begun. The staff wants to give him valuable advice, which he will have to try to reproduce in a match to gain an advantage. Note that this is not an exceptional situation according to journalist Jeff McDonald. This is what he says on Twitter following this video.
Just also clarify this is all going on long AFTER practice has ended. That's why there are no other players around.

Vic spends about an hour doing solo work with the coaches after each practice. This is an example of what has happened every day since camp started in October. Just to clarify this all happens long after the workout is over. This is why there are no players around.
Victor Wembanyama has not been idle since he arrived at Spurs. Daily training for the Frenchman, who also spends time with coaches, including Gregg Popovich, to refine his game. That’s what we call determination.
