Following San Antonio’s win, the Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr highlighted Victor Wembanyama’s evolution, noting how much more complete his game has become.
“He’s got unbelievable confidence now,” Kerr said. “He looks like he knows exactly what to do on both ends. His first couple years, he looked young at times. He doesn’t look young anymore.
“He just looks like he knows exactly what he’s doing. Dominated the glass. There’s plays you can’t do anything. Several lobs where it looked like a Nerf hoop. He’s brilliant.”
Even if he falls short in the MVP race, Wembanyama is widely expected to secure his first Defensive Player of the Year award, further solidifying his rise among the league’s elite.
Wembanyama has played 3 seasons for the Spurs. He has averaged 23.3 points, 11.0 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 3.5 blocks in 178 regular-season games.
He was selected to play in 1 All-Star game, and has won the Rookie of the Year award.
