Wemby just swept all the awards for the LNB season. He was named MVP, best young player, best defender, top scorer and best shot blocker. The only one he didnt get his coach of the year.

Yes but there isnt an award for that, all those I mentioned above were the end of the year awards. There's actually an award for best shot blocker as a tribute to the late Thierry Rupert, who was the father of fellow french prospect Rayan Rupert who also entered this year's draft.

He is in good hands if the Spurs pick him and extends Pop’s coaching career

I think Victor is actually worth all the hype. His game should be even better with more space in the NBA. I think he’ll have huge impact from the jump and think the Spurs should go for it right away. Get him a good vet that can help him right away.

Unfortunate for this victor kid, Failure In nba It's almost a sure thing ... Look at His face and His demeanor ... San Antonio needs to provide great psychological Help ...if not he will commit suicide with all these expectations

Suicide is a serious and sensitive topic that affects many people around the world. It is crucial to understand that joking about suicides is not only inappropriate but also incredibly harmful. Making light of such a tragic event can perpetuate stigma, trivialize the pain and struggles of those who have experienced suicide, and discourage open conversations about mental health.

We can see what he is capable of on the court but is he mentally prepared to be great? That's one of the most difficult task scouts and GM must take into account. We can insert many names that are lacking that toughness and focus.

Maybe, but I've never seen a French media person, so I wouldn't know which is crazier between French and American media.

Wish the Spurs still had Chip Engelland, but guess that wouldn't be fair for the league.
