Draymond Green provided a candid assessment of No.1 overall draft selection Victor Wembamyama, stating his belief that the French prospect won’t make the All-Star game during his rookie NBA season. Draymond’s unique perspective on the game and the NBA Draft process was the catalyst for further analysis of Wemby, highlighting the underrated factor of his game that truly makes him special.
Wembanyama will also have the chance to be led by Gregg Popovich, whose distinctions and prestige around the league qualify him as one of the greatest NBA coaches ever. Popovich, also the President of the San Antonio Spurs organization, has won five NBA championships with San Antonio, three NBA Coach of the Year awards, and was inducted into the NBA Hall of Fame in 2023 as a first ballot.
During an appearance on Podcast P, a Wave Sports + Entertainment podcast hosted by LA Clippers forward Paul George, Green spoke about how he would guard Wembamyama, what to expect from him during his rookie season, and how NBA defenders won’t allow the French generational talent to display his skill as easily as he did in France.
