Vincent Collet refuted Victor Webanyama’s weaknesses after his first appearances in the NBA

Vincent Collet, the French national coach and former coach of Victor Wembania at the Metropolitan, was a guest on NBA Extra to comment on the San Antonio Spurs rookie’s first writing samples on the other side of the Atlantic. The 60-year-old didn’t hesitate to criticize Webby’s bad lyrics, while of course highlighting its positive elements.

“Eight defeats in a row. It’s not just him, it’s his team. We have to put the matter in perspective. It’s the start of the season. From then on, he averaged almost 20 points and almost 10 rebounds. Statistically speaking, it is still consistent in the first year.

If you know Victor well, you also know the expectations placed on him. Things have to keep going up. What disappoints me a bit is his hit rates. For me that’s not enough for a player like him. There really is room for improvement with him. I believe it will even out. Decision making is crucial because when he takes shots with better prospects, the chances of hitting them are greater. Progress is needed in these areas.

And then connect with teammates. Against Sacramento, he shot 26 times but had no assists. I’m embarrassed. Despite it We have to be patient, the NBA season only started four weeks ago.

Offensive stats aside, his impact on defense is obvious. When he’s on the field and when he’s off, the Spurs’ level of defense isn’t the same. This was also the case when he competed in the Metropolitan. His dominance is often more noticeable on the defensive side than on the offensive side.

After all, we are always fascinated by his abilities. Every game there are two or three notable plays that change our perception of the game. However, he particularly shines on defense, as he is a deterrent in a way that few players can be.” said Vincent Collet, among others.
