Carmelo Anthony told Victor Wembanyama to enjoy himself after the NBA prospect struggled in his first outing for the San Antonio Spurs
The first overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, the French teenager entered the league as one of the most hyped prospects in history - drawing comparisons to LeBron James drafted 20 years previous. The Spurs were the lucky team to win the NBA Draft lottery and went ahead and selected 'Wemby', before he made his unofficial debut just a few weeks later in Las Vegas' Summer League.
It's become somewhat of a tradition for the team's top draft picks to feature in those games, with a number of superstar players in the league attending to see the new talent about to enter the league. And Wemby followed that tradition, suiting up for the Spurs last week in what proved to be a difficult debut with him struggling in the loss to the Charlotte Hornets.
