Victor Wembenyama (19) almost made a mistake when he announced the choice of his future franchise in the NBA on Thursday after the defeat of Boulogne-Levallois in the BetClic Elite final against Monaco.
Victor Wembenyama (19) concluded his short but intense adventure in France on Thursday with a defeat in the final of the BetClic Elite with Levallois-Boulogne against Monaco (92-85 in match 3, 3-0 on aggregate of the final). He also almost committed a nice dumpling at a press conference. Asked about his hot summer, “Wemby” began to pronounce the name of his future franchise in the NBA, which should be, unless surprised, the San Antonio Spurs. Except that nobody is supposed to speak officially about the choice before it is recorded.
“I know that after the draft, I have to go back and forth to S…”
“It’s going to be very busy, he confided. I know that after the draft, I have to go back and forth to S… (he stops and bursts out laughing, like the journalists in the room ). I have to go back and forth to the United States. And… (he continues to laugh). I didn’t make a lot of mistakes in the interview, I’m not starting today. I should notably go to Portland in Nike campus. I have a lot to do in the United States before the Summer League.”
The strong winger or pivot will attend the draft on Thursday, June 22, during which he should be chosen in first position. On May 17, the San Antonio Spurs obtained the number 1 choice of the lottery and should therefore opt for the French prodigy. If this outcome is expected, everyone is kept silent until the draft.
Wembanyama said he would like to participate in the world championship with the French team in China (August 25-September 10). A decision he will have to make with his new franchise. “Yes, but we don’t know which one yet…”, he added, proud of not being trapped. However, he had fun with the costume he would wear during the draft, a choice always scrutinized very closely. “I keep several options, he concludes. I try to be original but there will be surprises.”
