It's almost like this was already known just by looking at the TV schedule when it was released.
Between LNB playoffs and 2 Summer League games there is a lot of tape on Victor before the season starts this fall.
Pretty unique situation to already see like a dozen games by the #1 pick at this point in the process.
Vic was playing against 30 year old pros in France a month ago. Was weird seeing people melt over his Summer League performance like we have at least 3 games per round at postseason intensity against much better players but you want to look at the most low effort pick up scrimmage skewed data in the tiniest 2 games of sample sizes?

Good move. Can’t wait until he’s playing next to Sochan, Keldon and Vassell.
Dude was a steal …
I actually liked him
As a prospect
I don’t think he a star but has fringe starter/high level bench player potential with work
San Antonio's cuisine can easily put 30 lbs on him before October. Smart move.
Just load him up on breakfast tacos![]()
Two generational talents on the same team 😲 😱
There's literally no reason why any player drafted in the top 20 should be playing summer league. In the grand scheme of things, it does absolutely nothing. You have 3 months of off season between now and the start of the season. You're not fighting for roster spots.
Wembanyama has the scoring touch of Ice, the athleticism and shot blocking of young DRob, and post moves and demeanor of Duncan. Maybe it’s late but man the kid is otherworldly.
Summer is for body development not basketball for such great bball talent.
Good for him seeYa in October
Good move. They saw what they wanted to like that SL they had Whi shoot the ball to see what was there b4 shutting him down.
I don't know about the post moves
I agree with this. Scoot gets hurt playing a game basically designed to weed out the NBA level role players from the rest. These high draft guys should wait until training camp.
Kawhi never went to SL. They saw him shoot at the combine, although accidentally. He was waiting to do drills, got bored, picked up a ball and put up some shots. After the draft for a few days, he worked with Chip, then the owners locked the players out on July 1st until December. No summer league.
I want him to relax and enjoy himself for a month of vacation because he really wants and deserves that. No hard training and maybe he can gain a couple kilos.
He then played in a couple of SL games the next season tho
Yeah, I honestly don't see the point of getting wemby or any top prospect out there for a couple games or so, specially after the media whirlwind they have to go through, that's calling for trouble. Victor himself explained how these past few weeks have only been 50% about BB for him.
It does absolutely nothing for these kids and SL is for fringe guys to showcase their talent and/or try to get a contract. I suppose the NBA doesn't want the fans to wait 4-5 months to see these kids play. just a little tease between the draft and the start of the season.
Sochan isn't better.
He had Covid last year and that's why he sat out summer league.
<- joke
You
At 19. Same age as TP when he became a Spur after growing up in the Republic.
The entire universe is connected when you think about it.
How about no training camp or practicing either until after opening night so we for sure get that, put him in a bubble I'd be for that.
Very Buddhist.
Thank you.
Didn’t mean straight after being drafted. Think it was a SL of a following season where they wanted to see what he had shooting the ball from the perimeter. They watched, licked their lips and shut it down.
