Giannis speaks at length about Wemby’s potential

The Freak, for his part, gave Wemby some advice, at least if he thinks he could use it.
Giannis Antetokounmpo on Victor Wembanyama : “I don’t think he needs to get stronger. He can already affect the game, he already has more than 20 points without being stronger than that.

Health is a sensitive subject at the moment on the Spurs side, since Wembanyama was on a minutes restriction against the Bucks, as has been the case for more than a week. The consequence of a sprained ankle and a medical staff who does not want to take the slightest risk. And even if he respects this choice, Wemby has not hidden a certain frustration at not spending more time on the field.
Still, staying in good physical shape is essential for Giannis, who continued to speak about Wemby:
“He must continue to have fun, to play basketball. Not falling into this bubble where he says, “I have to do this, I have to be that”. (…) the league is really getting harder and harder, and we are getting older and older. It’s a nice compliment to know that he was a fan of mine, because he’s going to become a great player. When I’m done in this league, I know I’ll follow him and I’ll probably be a fan too. »
