Victor Wembanyama is undoubtedly smiling after the #Spurs announced Pop’s new 5-year deal.
“He wants to take care of me,” Wemby said recently. “He wants me to avoid making some mistakes. He’s really present and it’s really comfortable.”

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

Awards votes are weird. Voters get bored and get stuff wrong. Injuries might muck this up. Chet and Mobley and Bam are all gonna fight for some hardware in the near future.
But holy shit, there is a chance Victor Wembanyama wins like nine Defensive Player of the Year awards. – 9:50 PM

The NBA is in a great spot when the arena is full for a summer league game. Just an awesome atmosphere in Vegas for Victor Wembanyama’s first NBA action.
How about his handles?! – 9:46 PM

At Thomas & Mack Center for Victor Wembanyama debut. Felt maybe the same anticipation as the French must have felt when Charlemagne emerged in 768. Kind of looks like a fluid Shawn Bradley, which isn’t bad. Holy NBA emperor? Not quite yet. – 9:44 PM

If Victor Wembanyama has anything less than 20-and-10, I can already tell the discourse will be exhausting. 😂 – 9:31 PM

Portland Trail Blazers No. 3 pick Scoot Henderson will undergo an MRI on his right shoulder after sustaining the injury today against the Houston Rockets, league sources tell @NBAonTNT, @BleacherReport. There’s optimism it’s not a dislocation. – 9:30 PM

More on this storyline
Wembanyama, 19, is well on his way to forming a tight bond with Popovich after the Spurs selected the 7-foot-3 Frenchman last month. “Honest relationship,” Wembanyama said recently when asked what kind of relationship he wants to have with Popovich. “I’ve had coaches who didn’t always tell me the truth, and I hated that. I’m confident that when I get the chance to get coached by coach Popovich, he doesn’t lie to his players. He tells the truth. “Sometimes it’s harsh, it’s hard, but this is what I want.” -via San Antonio Express-News / July 8, 2023
“I think when he comes in to the league, I think he’ll be more of a defender. If you watch him defensively, he ruins games. He reminds me a little bit of a bigger Bill Russell, with a big reach, coming from everywhere–blindsides. Any offensive player is gonna have to be really cautious about where he is because he’s gonna mess up some offenses, that’s for sure.” -via Clutch Points / July 8, 2023
Tom Orsborn: Wembanyama says during chat with Kareem that he expects more rocky games ahead as he learns Spurs system: “I’m like a kid right now – I am a kid. I’m just ready to learn.” -via Twitter @tom_orsborn / July 8, 2023
Sean Highkin: Scoot Henderson: “I love playing on big stages. It’s like a movie. And I’ve been in one.” (Referring to Shooting Stars) -via Twitter @highkin / July 8, 2023
Sean Highkin: Blazers Summer League head coach Jonah Herscu says the team is still waiting on Scoot Henderson’s MRI results. -via Twitter @highkin / July 8, 2023
