Author of a mixed start to the season, Victor Wembanyama however made everyone agree with his last performance against Jazz. Well almost. A former Lakers player attacked him.
Spurs‘ most important player this season, Victor Wembanyama broke the screen this Thursday evening by dropping a 5×5 on the back of Jazz. The main thing remains the victory for the player and his team, but it is good news, Wemby needing to gain confidence after the performance against the Thunder. But the Frenchman is not yet unanimous.
Latest review? That of Kendrick Perkins, annoyed by the evolution of Wemby’s game lately at Spurs. The former Mets insists quite a bit with his three-point shot (13 attempts against the Jazz) and this divides Internet users. For some, the person concerned must above all use his size to make a difference in the racket.
Wembanyama attacked again for his game
However, Perkins is not alone in the landscape of NBA. Other people are a little disappointed with Wembanyama, as is the case with Nick Young, a former player with the Lakers or the Warriors. During Gilbert Arenas’ latest podcast, Young took the opportunity to attack Wembanyama and his game.
When “Swaggy P” was asked if the duel between Wembanyama and Chet Holmgren could become the most important in the league, here is his answer:
Nick Young : “It will happen the day when Victor Wembanyama will have a game, a real game. Today, he has no game. Everything is highlighted about him. He does a step-back, that’s good, but after that he doesn’t know what to do, even if you send him to the post. »
“Once he gets a real move, his game will expand. »
An astonishing outing on Wembanyama, especially since the Frenchman shone last season with his step-back, particularly when taking three points for the Spurs. Faced with this attack from Young, many Internet users did not understand about X.
@Chozenboii : “He literally dominated the league last season during three-point step-backs in terms of percentage. »
@DogstarInca : “Wembanyama is still learning to coordinate his body. Once he succeeds, the sky will be his limit. »
The attacks continue against Victor Wembanyama, whose play is still debated in this league. Is it really deserved for the Frenchman? Probably not. But his awakening in the coming weeks should quickly resolve all that.
