He wowed everyone. Never seen. All NBA fans agreed after watching the two friendlies played by 18-year-old French player Victor Wembanyama on American soil.
His immense size, staggering wingspan, agility from distance and dedication to defence: his qualities on the court are undeniable. “The greatest prospect in NBA history. We just never had someone like him”, already declared journalist Adrian Wojnarowski on ESPN. The French prodigy is talked about and is eagerly awaited by NBA fans.
In an interview conducted by “House of Bounce”, the former star pivot of the Lakers, Shaquille O’Neal, warns Wembanyama: the pivots of the league are also waiting for him. We will have to continue working because nothing is won yet.
“Over two yards, who’s dribbling, who’s shooting… Everyone says he’ll be the first pick in the draft, so if he stays healthy and continues to play well, he will be. He’s a great player”, analyzes the Shaq. Better than him? “He can be. It’s up to him. He has everything and all the skills. But I haven’t seen anyone put pressure on him yet. I’ve seen him mostly in attack so far. But when you play against a two-yard player, you have to put pressure on him. The real test will be when he arrives in the NBA. Zion will go after him. Embiid will go after him. The Joker will go after him. take it out on him. That will be the real test.”
After Shaquille O’Neal, former players Chris Bosh and Isiah Thomas also give their opinion on the future NBA player. There are praise. Lots of praise.
