Amidst whispers in basketball circles suggesting a lack of passes to San Antonio Spurs’ rookie sensation, Victor Wembanyama, the No. 1 draft pick is quick to dismiss such narratives.
The murmurs have hinted that the towering 20-year-old center might not be receiving the ball as frequently as his talents warrant, but Wembanyama fervently refutes these claims.
In a recent statement, he asserted, “Of course, I’ve heard it, but it’s never been even close to reality. There’s nobody on this team that doesn’t want to pass me the ball and there’s nobody I don’t want to pass the ball to,” as reported by Josh Paredes.
Wembanyama’s statistics this season certainly speak volumes about his impact on the court. Averaging 19.4 points, 10.2 rebounds, and 3 assists in just 28.6 minutes per game, the rookie has showcased not only his scoring prowess but also his ability to contribute in multiple facets of the game.
