The French phenomenon displays interesting personal statistics but Spurs are suffering. He took stock.
«I’m learning every day, I’m already better than at the start of the season», Explained Tuesday Victor Wembanyama, who remains on 12 defeats in a row with the San Antonio Spurs for a difficult debut in the NBA.
«We know where we’re going, we’re in good hands», wanted to reassure the 19-year-old French phenomenon after training, drafted in No. 1 by San Antonio in June, on whom immense expectations rest.
The giant (2.24 m) managed a few benchmark matches and presented very good individual statistics for a beginner (19.2 points and 9.5 rebounds on average), but he suffered a series of defeats in November with Spurs often clumsy and regularly swept aside by their opponents.
The defeat in Denver on Sunday (132-120) was the twelfth in a row for the young Texans, last in the Western Conference (3 wins – 14 losses) before hosting Atlanta on Thursday.
Wembanyama’s worst series of defeats since he played goalkeeper as a child, he quipped.
«I learn every day. I’m already better than at the start of the season. What is satisfying is that in all the areas that we target with the coaches, I have improved. We don’t talk and we don’t work for nothing.»
«It’s my rookie season, I’m still young, he’s probably the worst Victor you’ll see. I’m going to get better every year“, he added.
