A year after drafting Victor Wembanyama, San Antonio could be tempted to recruit a new young French talent during the next draft.
Victor Wembanyama undoubtedly hoped for better for his first season with Spurs. Because if the Frenchman shines individually with 20.7 points, 10.4 points and 3.5 blocks on average, San Antonio, which has always won only fifteen matches, is on the verge of signing the worst season in its history. Enough to at least guarantee the Texan franchise an advantageous draft choice next June. And this while several French people are announced high, including Alexandre Sarr and Zaccharie Risacher, who could in turn be chosen in first position.
The former Met, who knows his young compatriots well, also expects to be surveyed by his leaders as the draft approaches. “ At the draft, I’m sure they’ll ask me questions about French prospects,” the French kingpin told a press conference, adding: “Everyone has their role to play, but I am ready to get involved, collaborate and help in any way I can. »
Dithyrambic with the French
“It’s collaborative work with everyone. Their objective is also to help us win matches, they know that they cannot do everything independently of us,” he continued, referring to a summer that promises to be eventful, adding: “As soon as the season ends, there may be changes. But for me, this involves better knowledge of ourselves and the development of the players we already have.
Concerning the French players, Victor Webanyama is full of praise for them. “I had the opportunity to spend some time with him. We were both very young at the time, but he would sometimes train with us and he would do some crazy things talent-wise. He is definitely part of this category of players. I probably don’t know anyone more talented than him in this draft class.” he confided about Zaccharie Risacher, adding about Alexandre Sarr: “Regarding Alex (Sarr), I was struck when I saw him for the first time, it was in 2020. I didn’t know him at all. I had never heard of him and he had crazy talent. You could tell he wanted to improve and win. It has continued to improve over the years. He has great talent.”
