As his first season comes to an end, it is clear that Victor Wembanyama has made a lot of progress over the months. He returned to the subject at a press conference.
There is only one game left for the Spurs, this Sunday against Evan Fournier’s Pistons. We imagine that Victor Wembanyama will want to be there, but its presence is uncertain. San Antonio plans to prepare for the game as a back-to-back (following short rest) and Wemby played 37 minutes against the Nuggets. His season may already be over.
Infuriating if this is confirmed, but Wemby will do everything possible to convince the staff to let him play. It must be said that he has been on fire for several weeks, to the point of playing like an All-Star. Whether in defense or in creation, the Frenchman has made a lot of progress compared to the month of October. And the person concerned is the first to be convinced of this.
Wembanyama honest about his progress
We suspected that Wembanyama would improve his performance for his rookie campaign, once accustomed to the NBA, but probably not as quickly. He established himself as an All-Star and is a contender for the title of defender of the year, while the ROY has already been won, far ahead of Chet Holmgren. And Wemby is fully aware of this.

While in front of the media, Wemby spoke about his progress in the NBA:
Victor Wembanyama : “I often imagine myself playing against myself 6 months ago, a year ago, and of course the evolution is enormous. I think I have progressed a little in everything, but more in some aspects. The progress is satisfactory. Now, we have to translate that into victories, but I am happy with the development. »
With more than 21 points, 10 rebounds and 3.5 blocks on average, Wembanyama can certainly be satisfied with his development. We will have to continue this summer, in particular to hold on physically. But with more than 70 matches, we can say that the Frenchman has reassured people in this area.
The animal : “Just on playmaking, being more aggressive. Even physically, when I see images from a year ago. »
Victor Wembanyama has made huge progress at Spurs, and while it’s no surprise, we thought the Frenchman was going to need a little more time to reach such a level. But this 20-year-old rookie is definitely special.
