Kevin Durant Is Concerned About NBA With Wembanyama On The Way

The NBA Draft Lottery for 2023 happened on Tuesday, May 16, 2023, and the San Antonio Spurs were lucky to land the first pick which they will exercise once the 2023 NBA Draft finally comes on Thursday, June 22, 2023.

By now the name Victor Wembanyama resonates with most of us as the Frenchman is projected to be the first overall pick in the upcoming draft.

Given that the Spurs are expected to land him first, Victor might be coached by the legendary Gregg Popovich and that means havoc in the NBA.

We all saw what he did with Tim Duncan whereby the Spurs selected him first overall in 1997 and under Gregg, Tim led the Spurs to five NBA Championships. From Tim to Victor, it is just like passing the torch to the next kingpin and Victor is expected to handle it just fine.

Currently, in red-hot form, Victor already tops the LNB Pro A league in points, rebounds, blocks, and minutes.

He has been playing for the Metropolitans 92 this season and he led them to a strong finish just behind Monaco in the just-completed season.

Victor has been averaging a career-high 21.6 points,10.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and 3.1 blocks per game which made him a pivotal part in the team’s general play to finish at the top two of the table.

Coming to the NBA in such a form should send dread to the NBA because he is coming to conquer and take over any possible accomplishment.

His talent has even left Kevin Durant worried about the NBA. Coming from France Victor has caught Durant’s attention which has led the 2X NBA Finals MVP to sound a warning to the NBA as Victor is set to come in.

In a tweet by Clutchpoints of a video by Kevin Durant, he says,” The league’s really in trouble when he comes in. I want to see how it plays out. Everybody has been excited about his arrival to the league so we’ll see what happens.”

It seems that it is not only us who are excited to see Wembanyama get the league but the NBA players too.

Amid the excitement Durant is saying that the league is in trouble when Wemby comes in and for sure who wouldn’t be scared to go up against a 7’4” ‘Alien’?

Victor has been dubbed the next Kevin Durant with him also acknowledging Durant as one of his best basketball players.

He has been getting his fair share of praise with several NBA players saying the nicest things and looking forward to seeing him in the NBA.

From LeBron saying Wembanyma is more of an Alien than a Unicorn and Curry commenting that Wemby is a “2K Cheat Code”, the praises couldn’t explain more of the immense talent the 19-year-old possesses.
Set to take the NBA by storm, we will be looking out to see how he fares in the NBA.

Will the Wembanyama fear stand as per Durant or not we just have to wait and see.
