The deadline is approaching. In a little over a month, Victor Wembanyama will make his NBA debut. And for the first time since his draft, the French phenomenon spoke to the French press before the broadcast of a documentary entitled “UN1QUE”, which retraces his time with the Mets 92 and his preparation for the Draft.

On October 25, Victor Wembanyama will have the right to a Texas derby against the Dallas Mavericks from Slovenian Luka Doncic for his very first match in NBA. And to celebrate the approaching debut, Wemby made his appearance in front of French journalists before the release of a documentary which will be broadcast on October 8 (9:00 p.m.) on Canal+ and myCanal. During this interview, the interior of the Spurs clearly announced the color for this season.

Indeed, the former of Mets 92 displays a serious but reasonable ambition for its beginnings: “ So, for this first season, it would be a qualification for the playoffs” he answers when asked what would be the ideal debut in the NBA. “As for what happens next, I think the best part is not knowing what awaits us. I hope it will surprise me and it will be beautiful. »

A major challenge

It’s been three seasons in a row that the Spurs navigated the bottom of the rankings and failed to reach a postseason that they had spent 22 years previously (longest series in American sport at the time). Headlining these new Spurs, The animal therefore wants to put the Texan franchise in its place without further delay. A big challenge, but tempting!
