Victor Wembanyama, young prodigy of 2.24 m, lost with his San Antonio Spurs against the Minnesota Timberwolves of Rudy Gobert (117-110), experienced pivot of 2.16 m, for an expected duel between the two French giants of the NBA Friday. “He’s already way ahead for a rookie. It is obvious that he is well coached, and that he works tactically. He already represents an obstacle, I think he will become a serious problem very soon,” greeted Gobert about Wembanyama. The two players could form a formidable pair of interiors in the French team at the Paris Olympic Games in 2024. Despite less flashy statistics, Gobert (11 points, 10 rebounds) once again perfectly complemented his teammates Karl-Anthony Towns (29 points, 12 rebounds) and Anthony Edwards (28 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists).
