What's the buzz on Twitter? Salman Ali @SalmanAliNBABritney Spears might've been the biggest star on the planet at one point in time and I'm like 99% sure Victor Wembanyama (19) had no idea who she was before all of this lol – 8:51 AM Kevin O'Connor @KevinOConnorNBAMalaki Branham tonight:29 points7/14 from 25/6 from 3Pure bucket-getter from all levels.Big games again by Dominick Barlow and Julian Champagnie too. And more great defense and passing by Sidy Cissoko. The Spurs have a ton of young talent in addition to Victor Wembanyama. pic.twitter.com/dED5PCqjdW – 12:37 AM Melissa Rohlin @melissarohlinI saw the league's top picks play, including Victor Wembanyama, who is clearly the future of the NBA.But one of the most impressive things that happened over my few-day stint in Vegas was when I went to a lunch spot that I had been to once, one year ago, and the woman working… – 2:34 PM Christos Tsaltas @Tsaltas46The NBA 2K24 hasn't reveal Sasha Vezenkov overall rating yet, but I can predict that will be around 75 (max) to 71 (min). Still no reveal on Vasilije Micic and Victor Wembanyama as well. #BeamTeam #NBA2K24 – 1:01 PM Mike Finger @mikefingerCognizant of the big picture, the Spurs and Victor Wembanyama saw no reason to extend his summer-league circus past the two games they'd planned. Now he can get back to work, out of the limelight.In the meantime? Pity anyone playing him in online chess.expressnews.com/sports/spurs/a… – 5:40 PM Mike Finger @mikefingerCan report Victor Wembanyama is now 100% finished with summer league, per the Spurs.All along, two games was the plan. Spurs wanted him to get a taste of the NBA, and he got it. Team saw what it wanted to see, now giving him a break after a busy 12 months. – 3:00 PM RJ Marquez @KSATRJCaught up with Tony Parker @Superhero_CC. TP9 shared details about his relationship with Victor Wembanyama and his family, said he'd never seen Wemby's pic wearing his jersey and the immense expectations."I guess it was destiny for him to be drafted by the Spurs." #KSATsports pic.twitter.com/FEyBWTBTRK – 11:11 AM Eurohoops @EurohoopsnetAfter his debut in the Summer League, a lot has been said about Victor Wembanyama and his performance against Charlotte 🙄In his second appearance with the Spurs, the No.1 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft caught attention with a double-double 💪🏽eurohoops.net/en/nba-news/15… – 4:12 AM Melissa Rohlin @melissarohlinVictor Wembanyama on Gregg Popovich signing a five-year contract: "It's just another sign from him and from the franchise that they care about the project. There's something great going on, starting." – 11:57 PM Jay King @ByJayKingYes, Victor Wembanyama had a much better game today. He still missed five free throws in a game his team lost by, you guessed it, five points. He's been advertised as the best prospect of a generation but all I see is malnourished Andre Drummond. – 10:05 PM Alex Kennedy @AlexKennedyNBAVictor Wembanyama was much more productive in his second NBA Summer League game. He finished with:27 points12 rebounds3 blocks2 threes1 steal64.3 FG%50 3PT% – 10:00 PM Melissa Rohlin @melissarohlinVictor Wembanyama shined in his second summer league game following his shaky debut, finishing with 27 points on 9-for-14 shooting, 12 rebounds and three blocked shots in the Spurs' 85-80 loss. – 9:58 PM Andrew Lopez @_Andrew_LopezVictor Wembanyama stats in his second summer league game:27 points12 rebounds3 blocks1 steal3 turnovers1 foul9/14 FG2/4 3P7/12 FT – 9:57 PM Kevin Pelton @kpeltonVictor Wembanyama has brought a sleepy crowd to life with the Spurs cutting Portland's lead to 4 at the 2:28 mark of the fourth quarter. We even got "de-fense" chants on the last Blazers possession. – 9:48 PM Marc J. Spears @MarcJSpearsSpurs rookie Victor Wembanyama scores nine of his 11 first half points in the second quarter and also adds six rebounds and two block versus Portland. – 8:49 PM Michael C. Wright @mikecwrightVictor Wembanyama, 19, skipped the Summer Players Party at Tao nightclub hosted by Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin and the NBA's Players Association. He declined the invitation to get his rest ahead of today's game. Learning that Victor doesn't play about his sleep. – 8:19 PM More on this storyline The 19-year-old believes that Europe could offer more physicality than the NBA. "First of all, the court is more open [here]. It's going fast, but it's less physical," Wembanyama said after an 80-85 loss against the Blazers. "I get fouled a lot, but not as much. Nothing to compare. Here, players are just flying. Out there, it's more on the ground, pushing on the ground, big box-outs. "Here, it's great athletes, the best in the world. Way more talent. But I like this better, though." -via BasketNews / July 12, 2023
