NBA – After the start of the season, Wembanyama tackled: “No one wants to say it but…
French NBA player from the San Antonio Spurs, Victor WembanyamaNBA (DR)
Author of a big start to the season with the Spurs, Victor Wembanyama is one of the favorites for the title of rookie of the year. But not everyone is a fan of his game, like this fan who hopes to see him on the bench. We recall that Gregg Popovich had promised changes.
With a doubleheader coming up against the Blazers, it’s the perfect opportunity for the Spurs to take at least one win in Oregon. Gregg Popovich’s men need it after another series of defeats, although Victor Wembanyama will be limited for the occasion. His coach has in fact confirmed that he will only play one of the two upcoming matches, the fault of his ankle.
A fourth package for Wemby in the week, but necessary to ensure that he does not aggravate his ankle problem. Nothing very serious according to the player and the staff, who wish to take all precautions to avoid a long stay in the infirmary. And it’s hard to blame them. However, Wemby is still far from being unanimous in Texas.
Wembanyama attacked by a fan
Even if Wembanyama continues to perform well, some fans still have doubts about his performance at Spurs. Gregg Popovich confirmed this week that he was thinking about making changes to the 5 major, and one fan believes that the Frenchman must pay the price. This is what he explains on Twitter.
No one wants to say it but Wemby.
His offense is a handicap right now. He’s one of the best defensive players in the league but his offense is killing the Spurs. It’s to the point I expect him to miss and almost hate when he shoots

Nobody is going to say it but Wemby (who must be benched, editor’s note). His attack is a liability at the moment. He is one of the best defenders in this league but his offense is killing the Spurs. We’re at a point where I expect him to miss when he shoots.
An astonishing outing, especially as Wembanyama put in a series of good performances. His performance in attack still has flaws, which should surprise no one for a 19-year-old player. The Frenchman continues to learn, as does the fact that his teammates must find him better when he is in a good position. A surprising opinion to say the least, which did not fail to provoke a reaction.
He's 19, he's supposed to be inconsistent. The real problem is other veteran players who should step up

He’s 19, he’s supposed to be irregular. The real problem is the other veterans who should raise their level of play
Not everything is perfect for Victor Wembanyama at Spurs, but that’s no surprise for a rookie with so much pressure. The Frenchman intends to improve over the weeks, with the firm intention of stringing together victories. Needless to say, it looks promising.
