In great form currently with Spurs, Victor Wembanyama continues to shine. Nicolas Batum, who has known him for a long time, is the first to be delighted. And it announces a great career for his compatriot.
Author of 42 points against the Knicks for his last game, Victor Wembanyama has literally been unplayable for a few days. The person raised his voice, aware that the Spurs must accelerate in the West to maintain their dreams of reaching the postseason. A first for Wemby if they qualify, but let's say we're a long way from that at the moment.
The Texans still make a lot of mistakes and the squad can be considered “fair” in terms of talent if we compare to the competition. The Clippers are also in the mix, hoping to do something with a rediscovered James Harden and the future return of Kawhi Leonard. The opportunity for Nicolas Batum to follow this closely.
Nicolas Batum bluntly on Wembanyama
While he benefits from the total confidence of his coach, Batum knows that the end is slowly approaching for him. He has already hung up with the French team, while the NBA should follow soon. But why not retire with a ring? That would be the perfect scenario, even if Batum is wary of Spurs and Wemby.

Wembanyama's goal is relatively simple: become one of the greatest in history by achieving great things with Spurs. And at just 20 years old, he is showing incredible signs for the future, to the point where we can consider him the new face of the NBA. In any case, he has the talent and the attitude.
Like his latest exploit with SpursWemby has in any case been turning the league around for a few weeks. We hope to see him soon in the playoffs, before why not competing for the title in future years. But the road is still long to Saint Anthony before getting there.
For Nicolas Batum, there is no doubt, the future belongs to Victor Wembanyama, who has everything it takes to reach the top of the league. This is obviously all the harm we wish him, even if it won't be easy.
