Expected as the first pick of the next Draft, Victor Wembanyama does not only dream of shining on the NBA floors. The French prodigy wants to go for gold in Paris in 2024 and he could see himself beating the Americans in the Final.
Not even drafted by the Spurs yet, Victor Wembanyama is already a phenomenon on the US side. San Antonio fans are snapping up seats at the AT&T Center, the value of the franchise is booming, NBA players are raving about the tricolor interior. On the side of the scouts and the Rican journalists, it is also the queue to go see Wemby play in France, in order to discover the one who is expected as one of the most talented first picks in the history of the League. In a long paper for ESPNSam Borden talks about the enthusiasm generated by Victor Wembanyama but also his image in France.
If Wemby is expected as one of the future faces of the League at Uncle Sam, tricolor fans also hope to see him wear the jersey of the France A team in the next international competitions. Logically, the Mets player should join the Blues group this summer in Japan and the Philippines to play in the 2023 World Cup. The perfect rehearsal before the main event : the Paris Olympic Games in 2024.
Finalist in 2021 against the United States, Vincent Collet’s group hopes to win gold this time, even more at home. It would be the first Olympic title for French basketball. To achieve this objective, the coach of the Blues will be able to count on a full group, with the potential addition of Joel Embiid if he opts for French nationality, and therefore Victor Wembanyama.
In 2024, the prodigy will come out of his first season in the NBA and he intends to be there. The 19-year-old talent would have explained a few months ago to Pascal Giberné, a French journalist, that his objective would be to win gold with France at the Olympics and if possible against Team USA in the final. Words reported by ESPN.
“You know that the Olympic Games will take place in Paris in 2024. There is no better opportunity for me to win my first title with the French team.
My goal is to beat Team USA in the final.”
See you in just over a year to see if Wemby has achieved his goal.
