In the recent face-off between the San Antonio Spurs and the Phoenix Suns, Victor Wembanyama, the standout rookie, left an indelible mark by notching a career-high 38 points in the Spurs’ 132-121 victory, securing their second consecutive win against the Suns.
Devin Booker, one of the key players for the Suns, couldn’t help but express his admiration for Wembanyama during the postgame press conference, recognizing the French talent’s extraordinary abilities on the court.
Booker referred to Wembanyama as an “unbelievable talent,” emphasizing the challenge posed by the 7-foot-4 center’s unique skill set, particularly his ability to shoot over defenders effortlessly.
Despite the Suns’ efforts, Booker acknowledged the need to strategize and adapt to Wembanyama’s playing style, expressing a desire to make necessary adjustments in their approach when they face the Spurs in future encounters.
“He’s unbelievable talent,” Booker said. “I think everybody knows that. Just trying to figure out what he is because we’ve never seen him before.
“We got him early in the season, hopefully next time we play him we can make some adjustments to make it tougher on him. He has an advantage being seven-four and being able to shoot over everybody. So just finding different ways to make it tough on him but he had a hell of a night.”
The French sensation’s dominance in the game highlighted his towering presence and exceptional scoring ability, earning praise from both fans and established NBA stars.
As Wembanyama continues to make waves in his rookie season, his remarkable performance against formidable opponents solidifies his position as a rising star to watch in the NBA.
