NBA veteran speaks on Victor Wembanyama

The Spurs were considered lucky before the start of the new season. People had a pretty good reason to think so as well. The 7 ft 4 French national is not just incredibly tall but is also very flexible and possesses everything that makes for a great ball player. In addition to that, he was also said to have a type of hype around him which was last seen during LeBron James‘ rookie year. It is fair to say that people wondered if we would get to witness something special this year.

However, all hopes have fallen flat till now in the season. Not only Wemby has failed to carry the team on his back, but they’re currently at the bottom of the Western Conference. Regarding this, Johnson said, “I’m sure they telling him, be patient.”
