Dwight Howard gives him some valuable advice
Victor Wembanyama therefore continues his recovery, with the aim of coming back even stronger to help the San Antonio Spurs to aim for the playoffs at the end of the season. Dwight Howard also took the liberty of giving him valuable advice. “ Victor Wembanyama can shoot 3-pointers, but at the same time he’s 2m24 tall… Imagine if he put all his energy into playing physical and going to the basket on every possession. It would be amazing. Who will be able to stop him?! In addition he would put the opposing interiors in foul problems, and there he could show all his finesse, but only after having marched on the others for a half. » launched the former star of Orlando Magic and Los Angeles Lakers. The message got through.
