20 years old or not, Victor Wembanyama continues to impress people since his arrival at Spurs.
This is the case of Gregg Popovich, very positive when talking about his player.
Victor Wembanyama is poised to win the rookie of the year title by the end of the season, but he obviously has bigger goals.
The Frenchman wants to win the title with his team, aware that he will have to be patient in order to be able to compete with the Nuggets and the other big names in the NBA.
But Wemby is confident he’s in the right place in San Antonio to achieve that goal.
Gregg Popovich unanimous on Victor Wembanyama
A person happy to be able to meet him? Gregg Popovich.
Coach and true mentor for the Frenchman, Pop is doing his best today to guide Wemby at the start of his adventure.
Asked about the Frenchman in a press conference held this Thursday, the coach multiplied the compliments for the former Mets.
Pop, speaking at a presser in Austin this afternoon, about Wemby's maturity, humility, etc.:
"He's not a fan of himself, so to speak. The celebrity part that he's already garnered, doesn't really affect him. He wins with class and he loses with grace."

Gregg Popovich on Victor Wembanyama (in press conference) :
“He handles things very well. He just turned 20 a month ago, but he’s already very intelligent.
His maturity, his balance in this world are already impressive for someone of his age.
He doesn’t get involved in all this hype, he just wants to become a great basketball player, enjoy his life, his family and his friends. »
“He’s not a fan of himself so to speak.
This celebrity side that he already has doesn’t really affect him.
He wins with class and he loses with grace.
We are lucky to have someone with such behavior. »
No doubt, Popovich is impressed by his player, and not just by his qualities on the floor.
A sentence which should please the person concerned, he who concentrates solely on basketball today.
And good for the Spurs.
Gregg Popovich is clearly shocked by the behavior of Victor Wembanyama, far from acting like other 20-year-old players in the NBA. The Frenchman is definitely special, and count on Spurs to exploit his potential to the fullest.
