Despite 8 turnovers, the 20-year-old prodigy produced an XXL copy: 35 points (14/21 on shots), 18 rebounds and 4 assists. To make matters worse, he also made a decisive interception at the end of the game to seal this success.
In front of him, Nikola Jokic was impressed. And after James Hardenit’s the Serbian’s turn to think very big for the future of Wembanyama.
“I think he’s better than last year. And I think he’s going to get even stronger. He’s a special player. He’s one of a kind and we’ll remember him forever.” Nikola Jokic soberly commented at a press conference.
-Such a compliment coming from a three-time (soon four-time?) NBA MVP is beautiful. But indeed, the rise to power of Victor Wembanyama is obvious. And above all, it also translates into better collective results for the Spurs.
