Victor Wembanyama played 71 games out of 82 possible with more than 20 points on average (21.4) In a successful first year, the former Metropolitans once again received the praise of his coach. Gregg Popovich compares the Frenchman's learning to the greatest that he has coached himself, Tim Duncan.
“With time and experience, as a good student, he improves in all these areas. There are people you can do that with and who never learn. He absorbs everything,” he said. The Spurs selected Victor Wenbanyama in the 2023 draft where he also hoped to come and play for Spurs. The Frenchman will play for the San Antonio Spurs until the end of the 2018-19 season. The 2023 NBA season is the first in which the Spurs will play in the Western Conference. The season will also feature the NBA All-Star Game, which will take place in New York City on February 14. The game will be the first time that the Spurs have played in the All-star game since 2004.
