Since the start of the season, Victor Wembanyama has persisted in shooting three points, with an unflattering success percentage (21%). During the night from Wednesday to Thursday against the Houston Rockets, the San Antonio Spurs pivot only returned one of his six long-distance attempts, but he intends to continue on this path.
On the move on the floor of Houston Rockets during the night from Wednesday to Thursday, the San Antonio Spurs conceded their fifth defeat of the season (127-100). Victor Wembanyama finished the game with 15 points and 6 rebounds, 6/14 shooting, but 1/6 from three points. While some would prefer to see him closer to the circle, the Frenchman continues to persist in taking several long-distance shots. Which hasn’t really worked out for him since the start of the season.

“My game also consists of taking three-point shots”
Victor Wembanyama has made only 12 of his 56 three-pointers this season, with a success percentage of 21%. “ It’s just about continuing to play my game. My game is also about taking three-point shots », he assured after the defeat against the Rocketsin comments relayed by the San Antonio Express-News. Seeing him shoot so much from three points is also a desire of the Spurs.
“I’m going to keep shooting.”
« We have to hope that the plays and the offense produce the shots we want to produce with the right people “, declared Mitch Johnsonwho is acting in the absence of Gregg Popovich. “ For Victor, he has so much talent. It is sometimes difficult for a young player of his caliber to pull out all the stops. It’s difficult for all young players. I think he did a good job. I think he will continue to do a good job and I’m sure he will be better with more experience. » Despite his low three-point percentage, Victor Wembanyama does not intend to change his game: “ I’ll just see if I’m open. If so, I’ll keep shooting. »
