New teammate of Victor Wembanyama at the San Antonio Spurs, the American interior Zach Collins has already said on several occasions all the good things he thinks of the French prodigy.
When he barely had time to arrive in the NBA, Victor Wembanyama seems to have already impressed some of his new teammates at the San Antonio Spurs. If the Frenchman’s first match in the Summer League was rather mixed (against the Charlotte Hornets), the person concerned then reassured everyone (against the Portland Trail Blazers).
Now at rest, the number one of the last draft will now move away from the light to work in his corner and be ready for the next season. In the meantime, Zach Collins has already said all the good things he thinks of him. ” If he was just tall and not really good at basketball, we would already be better defensively. But in reality, he looks very smart defensively and he uses his height very well. It will be much better for us, “said the latter, in particular, in relation to the fact that Spurs were the worst defense last year.
“He’s going to give our backs so much confidence”
“He’s going to give our backs so much confidence. The players will know that they can put pressure on the opponents, because he will be behind. It’s so big and long. I was really amazed by its size. There’s so much “hype” around him right now, but it’s coming from other people, because when you talk to him, he is very humble, very calm. He just wants to play basketball. You can see it just by looking at it. All this hype comes from other, outside voices. Not his, “said the American strong winger or pivot, in comments collected by the Express News.
Before that, the latter had expressed his impatience to play with Wembanyama. ” It’s going to be a battle every day. Already every workout has been very competitive this year, it can only be even more so with him next season,” Collins told FOX West Texas.
