If there is a better head coach and ball club for a skilled big man to hone their craft and find success than the San Antonio Spurs and Hall of Fame coach Gregg Popovich, we can’t think of which they might be. So the luck of French rookie phenom Victor Wembanyama to land with San Antonio in the 2023 NBA draft may pay dividends, and fans are already starting to compare Wemby to Spurs greats like David Robinson and Tim Duncan.
Even that HoFer head coach has commented that he sees similarities with Wembanyama, Duncan, and Robinson, so maybe those fans are onto something.
On a recent episode of the “Locked on Spurs” podcast, host Jeff Garcia linked up with guest Rudy Campos of “Sweep the League” to talk over those eerie similarities between Wembanyama and fellow San Antonio frontcourt greats of the past.
Take a look at the clip embedded above to hear what they had to say.
