NBA (DR) / Spurs (DR) / JJ Redick (DR)
By Mathieu S. | NBA Editor
Author of a new crazy match on the NBA floors this Friday, Victor Wembanyama also impresses with his state of mind. JJ Redick made a point of emphasizing this in his latest podcast.
While his season may already be over, Victor Wembanyama will have had a pretty crazy campaign in the NBA, with more than 21 points, 10 rebounds and 3.5 blocks on average today. He should be named rookie of the year while a top 5 finish most likely awaits him for the DPOY. And there is no doubt that he will win this trophy in the years to come.
A pretty crazy rise in power for a player of barely 20 years old, who seems destined to dominate the league for the next 10/15. And if Wemby panics the scorers with his prowess on the floor, it is perhaps off it that he surprises the most. With real maturity for someone of his age, the Frenchman does not leave anyone indifferent.
JJ Redick shocked by Wembanyama
This is for example the case of JJ Redick, who had the pleasure of meeting Wembanyama before his draft during a podcast. What won the former player over? Victor’s mind, already very different from the others of his generation. This is what he reveals to Rudy Gobert during his recent podcast, which precisely evoked the mind of Wemby.

JJ Redick on Victor Wembanyama : “There’s something with his mentality. We spoke to him on this show a few days before his draft. We talked to young players, young teammates, I went to high school for 4 years, I played against players in the top 14 of the draft, I played with others. I’ve never met a 19 year old who thought like him. »
” He is incredible. He really is. I love that you (Rudy) said that, I love that you differentiate between his size/abilities and what is in his heart and mind. He’s a very special guy. »
There is no doubt that we think exactly the same thing today at Spurs, Victor having not taken long to convince everyone, not only with his abilities, but also with his behavior and his attitude. A teammate had also lots of compliments to give him after his last match.
Victor Wembanyama quickly caught the eye of JJ Redick, and even before his draft last June. This says a lot about the Frenchman, special for many, many reasons.
