Victor Wembanyama already seems to be unanimous among the players in the league. New illustration with the Knicks players who also had the opportunity to observe the American tour of the French phenomenon.
“ It’s unreal. It’s like in 2K, you create this giant and you want it to shoot. He does in real life. This is madness. And to see how he came back and chained, 37 points then 36, he is really very talented. It’s unreal », Can’t believe RJ Barrett.

He really made a good first impression “, Continues the New York rear, who has not had the opportunity to evolve with another phenomenon of the genre, Kristaps Porzingis, who played for the Knicks before being transferred to Dallas.
For his teammate Derrick Rose, the Frenchman has another mobility than “KP”. The comparison that seems fairer to him is with Kevin Durant (about 2m10). ” KD was a model for 2m08 players but for a 2m23 or 2m26 guy, it’s a new model for guys over 2m18.

You look elsewhere and he gives you 40 or 50 points. And he defends. He wants to become a great player. It’s an impression. I think that’s what a lot of people call the extra thing. We don’t know what it is. But it is something. Something in him outside of his game. It’s something deep that says he wants to be a great player. »
