Clippers star Paul George was critical of the hype surrounding Spurs rookie Victor Wembanyama in the wake of him being drafted with the No. 1 pick in June’s NBA draft. However, George is now backtracking a bit on his previous criticism after seeing how easy Wembanyama made things look in preseason action.
“I take back everything I said,” George began on his show Podcast P with Paul George. “And I knew he was gonna be successful in the league, but I thought it was going to be tougher than what he’s making it look right now. He Euro’d without taking a dribble from the free throw line, flushed it. No one’s stopping that.
“I mean, he still hasn’t played the league yet. But, some of the stuff he doin’ dawg, I mean he threw it to the wing, called for the lob at the three-point line, knowing nobody else can go get that…dunked it.”
