The media appearances of Victor Wembanyama have been multiplying for two days and today it was at a press conference to answer questions from journalists on the eve of the Draft 2023.
The opportunity for the Frenchman to specify that he should be counted on in summer league in the next few days. Whether in Sacramento (July 3-5) or Las Vegas (July 7-17), or even outright in these two summer leagues…
” I will play in Summer league. Certainly not every game, but I will play. As for the number of matches, it will have to be determined with my future team. »
A decision no doubt motivated by the fact that Victor Wembanyama says he feels particularly well physically, despite the late end of the season for Boulogne-Levallois (Betclic Elite final against Monaco).
“ I keep myself in shape [depuis ma fin de saison]. I weightlifted almost every day except the day I flew. I even did it this morning with my personal coach and I’m not too tired. In fact, I was almost in my best shape of the season [au moment des Finales]. »
Then, once this Summer league period is over, Victor Wembanyama will not yet have finished with his “summer homework” because he intends to travel to Asia for the World Cup 2023 (August 25 – September 10)…
” There will be time between the Summer League and the World Cup. It is always my intention to play the World Cup. I’m just waiting to come to terms with my frankness. »
THE Spurscalled to draft him in first position tomorrow evening, are therefore warned and, even if they would undoubtedly prefer to see their (future) new jewel rest before discovering the Big League, the person concerned himself clearly did not planned to wait until October to find the floors, elsewhere than in training.
