Also, one of the French guys told me that the highlight of Wemby’s answers in that language today came when one of them asked about people back home waking up at 4 am to watch tomorrow’s game.
Wemby corrected him. It’s actually 3:30.
“Prepare your coffee,” he said in French. – 2:20 PM

Just asked Wemby about the defense and he said he’s playing a role on defense that he “has never played before”
On experimenting he said he’s had ideas before, but not a big opportunity to try things as his main job was helping the team win. More opportunity now. – 2:01 PM

The only problem with Wemby being one of the last off the practice floor is we have to wait forever to talk to him.

It’s fun having the Astros-Rangers rivalry actually mean something more than a goofy regular-season trophy. Looking forward to more.
Also fun that the Spurs-Mavs rivalry may start heating up again Wednesday. That line is down to Dallas -3.5.
May the Wemby-Luka era begin. – 10:40 PM

It hasn’t sunk in yet that tmw is the start of the NBA season… Starting to get amped for it! I can’t remember a year where there were so many interesting storylines: LAL back in contention, Wemby, Zion/NOLA, OKC, Giannis/Dame, Harden fiasco, Steph/CP3, DEN, BOS, PHX… WILD!! – 4:17 PM

Cedi Osman played a season with LeBron James in Cleveland, and is now on the ground floor for the start of the Wemby era in SA.
So I asked him the completely unfair question of whether he sees any similarities between the two players’ approach to the job: pic.twitter.com/jc2DR0plaL – 3:36 PM

Mike Finger: Victor Wembanyama is asked if he’s ready for teams to start trying to push him around. “It’s not something I’m afraid of. Quickness beats physicality.” -via Twitter @mikefinger / October 24, 2023
The 19-year-old dazzled in the preseason, from his moves in the post to his defense and ability to pull up from all over the court. In other words: He has done everything expected of him. Popovich knows Wembanyama will be prepared for his debut. Victor has been through this. There has been a lot of hype around him for a long time, and he doesn’t let it affect him. He is very mature. He is very emotionally strong. His priorities are in order. He is very professional already, so he’ll just come and play. -via The Rookie Wire / October 24, 2023
