Everyone is waiting for this: the return of Victor Wembanyama to French soil for the Olympic Games next summer. After the World Cup fiasco, the French team needs a savior, and all fans’ eyes are on the new San Antonio Spurs player. And not just supporters. Real Madrid interior Guerschon Yabusele is “looking forward to playing with him, so that we can learn things”.
“It’s the future of French basketball, what he’s doing is just incredible,” assures the former Asvel player in an interview with Asvel. Being jealous or bad-mouthed, I’m not like that at all. The fact that he’s on the team and everything he’s going to do is going to help everyone. I am looking for titles with the French team. It’s very important for us and for French basketball. Sharing my playing time with him will be a pleasure. »
Beyond the French team, Victor Wembanyama should, according to Guerschon Yabusele, become the face of the NBA. “He’s a very nice person, he’s really motivated. I’m sure he will become the face of the NBA too. What he does is still quite impressive. It looks like it’s easy. So far, I haven’t seen him in difficulty. Everything comes easily to him, he scores easily and he is with one of the best coaches he could have had. In terms of maturity and experience he will really learn a lot but I wish him only the best. »
