Indiana Pacers point guard TJ McConnell called San Antonio Spurs rookie Victor Wembanyama the future face of the NBA following Sunday’s 117-105 road loss (31 points/12 rebounds/6 assists/1 steal/6 blocks/11-17 FG/3-4 3-PT/6-7 FT/+19 +/-).
(via Indiana Pacers):
“I think we played them the third game of the year, and he hadn’t seen the type of defenses that teams are gonna throw at him. He wasn’t familiar with how they’re gonna play, and I think at this point in the season, he knows what to expect. I mean the guy’s practically unguardable, so he’s going to be the face of the league here in the coming years and has obviously a ton of potential and someone that San Antonio can build around. Hats off to him.”
