Victor Wembanyama was far from dejected, and answered questions with his usual thoughtfulness, but that was, let’s say, the least delightful press conference he’s given this summer.
I suspect he wanted to put on a show much more than he let on. Which is totally natural. – 12:58 AM

Summer League is set to kickoff today in Las Vegas.
This place is going to be completely full rather soon so folks can check out the summer debut of Victor Wembanyama.
Only the second time it’s been sold out the day before.
The last time?
That was 2019 when Zion debuted. pic.twitter.com/lGdGrclH3v – 3:21 PM
