While his season is almost over, Victor Wembanyama proved to everyone that he had the build and talent of a franchise player. This type of player around whom we build a team to aim for the title.
In San Antonio, we know how to proceed since we had the example of Tim Duncan, and starting this summer, management will therefore take advantage of its approximately 26 million dollars to add the first missing pieces. Without forgetting of course the Draft where San Antonio will necessarily have a very high choice.
For “Wemby”, there is no question of remaining inactive, and he admits that he discusses it with the coaches and managers. “There's a lot of discussion with the coaches and the front office, to find out where we are comfortable with each other in the game and where we are not comfortable, to know what type of elements we might add.”
Obviously, the Frenchman has confidence in his superiors. After a season spent in the bottom of the Western Conference, the work is enormous, and we would almost have to recruit a very good player for each position…
Ready to help in any way possible
“There is a lot of discussion, because the GM and the front office are doing their job. They can pretty much do whatever they want with what we have today, but it's about how well they understand us – the players and the coaches – to know where we want to go and how we want to develop. “.
To a journalist who asks him if everyone is on the same wavelength, he answers : ” Oh yes ! And it's a good thing. I feel like there are no internal battles between us. This is good, and it is the right method for the future. »
Does this mean he will be involved in the coming weeks and months?
“I am ready to get involved, collaborate and help in any way possible” he concluded, evoking in particular the status of French prospects (Alex Sarr, Zaccharie Risacher, etc.) expected very high in the 2024 Draft.
