Lto nba that’s it immersed in the ‘Cyclone Wembanyama’. The French player, the great promise of the recent era in the best basketball league in the world since the emergence of LeBron James all around 2003, is on everyone’s lips due to its landing in the ‘Americas’. Being number 1 in the Draft with total security, the San Antonio Spurs are your destiny and it begins to take shape what his assault on the league of stars will be like. It’s with Summer League… and without ruling out the possibility of the World Cup.
There were several doubts on the front about how the Nanterre player would disembark that are dissipating. After being eliminated, at the Chatrier de Roland Garros, in the third match of the French league final, Wembanyama confirmed to Chima Moneke, interior of the Monaco, champion team, that he will play the Summer League. “Yes, stay a bit,” he related.

It was the “official confirmation” of a rumor that had been gaining strength from the United States. Nothing would brighten a ‘training’ competition more. In theory the idea of Spurs will debut in Game 1 of the California Summer League Classic on July 3. There, those from San Antonio will play against the Charlotte Hornets. Summer League is usually the first yardstick for new guys. In the last course, for example, the majority of rookies participated being number 4 in the Draft, Keegan Murray (Sacramento Kings), the last MVP.
And the World Cup?
Doubt, then, becomes the next step. On the horizon appears the Basketball World Cup in Indonesia, Japan and the Philippines. Wembanyama is fully committed to the National Team, although more focused on the Paris Games. Of course, France has its superstar for the World Cup. “I want him to go. Also to the Games. It would be ideal for him, to better prepare for the NBA,” said Vincent Collet, coach of ‘Wemby’ in the Metropolitans 92… but also coach.

“Win in integration. A World Cup gives you that experience. I hope the franchise collaborates. We know them a little… (re)“, he added. Obviously, Collet goes back to those days of Boris Diaw and Tony Parker in the Spurs. “It is important that he plays. There will be the same players as in the NBA. And here in France that doesn’t happen,” he said.

The choice falls on Wembanyama and his franchise that selects him. France will have a demanding first group, against Canada, Latvia and Lebanon in Jakarta. His prodigy arrive after a season in which he signed 21.6 points per night in the League, 17.3 in the Playoffs and 19 in his few games with the French absolute.
