Valuable for his return to Spurs, Victor Wembanyama offered victory to his team this Wednesday evening. He was quickly praised for his performance, notably by Devin Vassell.
Absent from the last match following an injury, Victor Wembanyama made a winning return for the Spurs this Wednesday, with a great victory over the Jazz. He was also valuable with 19 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists and 5 blocks in this game, in just 30 minutes. A good match for the Frenchman, who quickly won over Internet users on their side.
Wembanyama delights again for Spurs
It must be said that with the counter to seal the victory, Wemby did not take long to reiterate his importance in Spurs’ game. An already exceptional defender for his team, as Devin Vassell once pointed out at a press conference. For the back, it is clear that challenging the Frenchman to a duel in the circle is a bad idea.
Devin on Wemby’s defense, including the big block late on Hendricks: “It’s just crazy the stuff we ask of him and expect of him, but he’s put himself at that level. We expect it from him night in and night out…He went to go dunk on him and we know that’s not going to happen.”

Devin on Wemby’s defense, including his big counter late in the match on Hendricks: “It’s just one of the crazy things we ask him to do and expect him to do. We expect that from him night after night… He (Hendricks) tried to power dunk on him and we know it won’t happen. »
To challenge Wembanyama into a duel in the circle, it is better to be very confident. Unfortunately for him, Hendricks did not succeed in his attempt, to the delight of Spurs.
Wembanyama is already considered a formidable defender, proof of this with the counterattacks he stacks up throughout the matches. Impressive to see.

Matches with more than 5 blocks this season: 21 – Wemby. 9 – Lopez. The most games with 5 blocks by a rookie since Shaquille O’Neal.
No doubt, when it comes to countering, Victor Wembanyama is already a formidable player for Spurs. Devin Vassell has full confidence in his teammate, and he’s certainly not the only one.
