As the NBA restart slowly approaches, we are eagerly awaiting the return of Victor Wembanyama with the Spurs.

The Frenchman has made a lot of progress, including physically. He made an interesting revelation to the media Brut.

Rookie of the year and second in the DPOY ranking, behind Rudy Gobert, Victor Wembanyama returns with certain ambitions for this new campaign with the Spurs.

Access to the playoffs has become a priority for the Spurs, especially since the arrivals of Chris Paul and Harrison Barnes.

But is it enough for Gregg Popovich’s men?

Everything should depend on the level of play offered by Wembanyama. In form with the Blues during the Olympic Games, the Frenchman will be THE player to follow in San Antonio for this new season.

He has progressed a lot in his game since his arrival in the NBA, but also physically.

An obligation since in recent months, he has switched to the pivot position.

Victor Wembanyama’s Progress at the Spurs

If he wants to keep up with the likes of Nikola Jokic, Joel Embiid and company, Wembanyama needs to improve physically and gain some weight/muscle.

That’s what he’s done since joining the league, as he told Brut in a recent interview.

He hasn’t gained 10 kilos either, but he’s made some efforts.

“Victor Wembanyama says he’s gained 4-5 kilos since joining the Spurs.”

We may be heading towards a Giannis Antetokounmpo-style progression for Wembanyama, who plans to gain muscle little by little over the years.

A good thing for the Frenchman, who risks a potential injury if he tries to do all that too quickly.

In any case, we can’t wait to see him back in the fall, especially with Chris Paul as a point guard to serve him.

Victor Wembanyama has already gained a few kilos since arriving in the NBA, which is necessary to compete with the best centers in the league.

A good thing for the former Mets player, and it’s not over for him.
