Victor Wembanyama does not have the best start to the season in history with a lot of clumsiness. A problem for consultant Kendrick Perkins, who attacked the Frenchman for ESPN. What is unanimous?
Author of a 5×5 this Thursday evening during the Spurs victory, Victor Wembanyama reassured himself after a fairly turbulent start to the season. Good and bad for the Frenchman, who shows a lot of clumsiness once behind the arc. Despite this, the Frenchman continues to try his luck quite often from long distance, like his 13 attempts against Jazz.
Benefiting from the confidence of the staff in this area and wishing to become an overall threat on the floor, Wemby wants to persist at three points and become a sort of Kevin Durant in the best scenario. Not good news for NBAeven if this development in the Frenchman's game is far from pleasing everyone.
Wembanyama criticized for his play
This is the case of Kendrick Perkins, quite annoyed by the Frenchman's three-point attempts. Like other supporters, he believes that Victor must get closer to the circle more often in order to use his 2m24 to make the difference. This is what he explains in the latest ESPN broadcast about the star of Spurs.

Kendrick Perkins sur Victor Wembanyama : “He’s the greatest prospect in the draft since LeBron James. The guy who was supposed to show up in San Antonio to save this organization. Maybe he needs to borrow my costume right now (he's dressed as Batman for Halloween, Editor's note) because it doesn't look like he's about to show it off this season. »
“He's in trouble because with his 2m24 and Chris Paul, he should go into the paint. I'd rather he move away from trying to become Kevin Durant, and instead become a Giannis Antetokounmpo. Run into the paint. »
Giannis also tries to develop a three-point shot, but the Greek Freak nevertheless continues to use his strength to make the difference in the racket in order to make the difference. An example for Wembanyama to follow? Kendrick Perkins is convinced that yes, rather than seeing the Frenchman take 10 three-point shots per game. A debate still far from over.
Should Victor Wembanyama persist at three points? Kendrick Perkins thinks not, he who is annoyed by the Frenchman's start to the season. An astonishing statement after 3 games (at the time of his statement), but it is not the former player's first mistake.
