“Perfect Spot for Him”: 3x NBA Champ Gives Two Cents on Victor Wembanyama’s Fit With Gregg Popovich’s Spurs

It’s almost time for one of the much-awaited debuts in the NBA world. The San Antonio Spurs selected Victor Wembanyama as the 2023 #1 draft pick in June and the hype hasn’t reduced since then. Moreover, with only months into the next season, the experts dig in on Wemby’s sustainability on the franchise. Importantly, former Spurs champion recently expressed his views on the 19-year-old star’s place in legendary Gregg Popovich’s camp.

Ever since Wembanyama stepped his foot on the American soil, the paps are behind him for bytes. Unfortunately, the rising star’s Summer League debut in Las Vegas didn’t go well as expected. However, he provided a decent comeback in his second game until pulling himself out of the league to train for the upcoming season. While the NBA world’s attention is on the youngster, 3x NBA Champion Danny Green pointed out the star’s perks.
