The NBA is gleefully waiting for Victor Wembanyama to step onto the court and officially begin his rookie season. The most hyped prospect since LeBron James was drafted by the San Antonio Spurs, which means Wembanyama will be mentored by Tim Duncan, Gregg Popovich, and David Robinson.
Tracy McGrady spoke to GQ and discussed how Wembanyama is in the perfect situation in San Antonio, where he is surrounded by greatness.
“I mean, to me he’s in a perfect situation because he’s around greatness. One of the greatest coaches ever, the greatest power forward ever, and one of the greatest centers ever. Sit down and have those conversations with those guys, and just soak up all the advice you possibly could. And I’m sure he’s having those conversations. You’re not gonna get any better than sitting down talking to Tim Duncan and Pop and David Robinson.”
The past legends of the Spurs have taken a very active interest in helping Wembanyama acclimate to life in Texas and the NBA. Tony Parker has been a mentor for years, while Robinson and Duncan are passing on their golden knowledge as former No. 1 picks that became MVPs and champions playing for the Spurs.
Victor Wembanyama Preparing For His NBA Debut
Wembanyama had an iffy Summer League with the Spurs, with an extremely disappointing debut before bouncing back in his second game with a performance that showcased his full arsenal. The media pressure is already getting to him, with the French big man already expressing his disappointment with American media after he was dragged by Britney Spears in a public controversy.
Without the FIBA World Cup to worry about, Wembanyama will purely be focusing on being ready for his NBA debut. The excitement will be palpable as Wemby will be expected to live up to comparisons that may be out of reach.
