San Antonio Spurs rookie Victor Wembanyama arrived at the Frost Bank Center in San Antonio to impress in his NBA debut against the Dallas Mavericks.
The first-round pick in this year’s draft wore an all-black outfit that included a black hoodie, sweatpants and sneakers. He also wore a pair of black sunglasses and a black baseball cap.
Win Banyama, 19, has garnered a lot of attention even before he made his NBA game debut. With his incredible combination of size and agility, many pundits and observers considered him a game changer for the legendary but recently struggling Spurs.
In the four preseason games he played in, the 7-foot-4 center gave a glimpse of what is expected of him throughout the NBA. He averaged 19.25 points, 4.75 rebounds and 2.75 caps in 21 minutes on the court, helping the Spurs to a 3-2 preseason record.
Beyond the stats, Spurs fans should expect „Wimby“ to start his era in San Antonio, and based on what he wore in his debut, he’ll bring more exciting attire to the table.
San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich has seen what their prized rookie Victor Wimbanyama can bring to the table, but admits that they are still looking for the right way to better utilize the player’s immense talent.
The longtime Spurs head coach said in preseason that he has high hopes for the young French player and that the coaching staff should find a way to improve that.
The five-time NBA champion coach said:
„We’re still trying to figure out whether he should be on the outside or inside and in what situations we can maximize his ability. I’m not sure he’s sure, but it’s going to be a little bit of both. He’s a smart guy, so even if I don’t get it, he’ll get it.“
