Former Houston Rockets forward Bruno Caboclo has had a good look at San Antonio Spurs star forward Victor Wembanyama as the two have been suiting up for their respective national teams of Brazil and France for the 2024 Paris Olympics. And Caboclo likes what he sees in his fellow forward, though, admittedly, he is far from alone in his sky-high praise for Wemby.
“I think he didn’t miss in the second quarter, and France was relying on him. So they took advantage of that,” said the swingman of a recent tilt he played alongside Wembanyama for Team Brazil via the Athletic’s Sam Amick.
“In the second half, he didn’t score very much, so guys had to make plays,” he added. “We tried to make a run to get the score down, but France played better.”

“I think they tried to figure out how to play with him and Gobert together,” recounted Caboclo. “He’s getting his rhythm as well to play for the national team with these new guys.”
“I think it’s going to take time to know what everybody can do together, and I think they have a bright future. It’s just a matter of time (for Wemby). He’s just going to keep getting better. He’s very young, and the sky’s the limit for him.”
