In a recent episode of Boardroom, Phoenix Suns’ Kevin Durant weighed in on the future of the NBA, naming San Antonio Spurs rookie sensation Victor Wembanyama as the league’s best player in a decade.
At just 20 years old, the French center has been making waves with impressive stats, averaging 20.5 points, 10.1 rebounds, 3.2 blocks, and 3.2 assists per game this season.
Durant also lauded the leadership qualities of Minnesota Timberwolves young star Anthony Edwards, emphasizing his ability to foster team unity and serve as a role model for his peers.
Describing Edwards as a “team builder,” Durant praised his work ethic and positive influence in shaping the culture of the Timberwolves.
Acknowledging the importance of players who not only excel individually but also contribute to team chemistry and morale, Durant highlighted Edwards’ impact on and off the court.
“He’s a team builder,” Durant said about Edwards. “His personality, his demeanour is something you can build around and have people come into the gym and say ‘Yo, be like that.’ Those are the ones you walk in the gym and see him working hard he being a great teammate and bringing everybody with him. Those are the culture builders.”
Durant’s endorsement of Wembanyama reflects the rising star’s potential to leave a significant mark on the NBA landscape in the coming years.
