Trae Young was asked about Wemby postgame, called him a presence on both ends and said sometimes you feel for the guy because his team doesn’t get him the ball so well.
Will probably look better when he’s running the pick and roll here in one year’s time. – 6:00 PM

Postgame on TNT Trae Young spoke about how Wemby’s presence is always felt when on the court. He said he could see in the first half the Spurs had trouble finding Wemby, but they figured it out in the second half and he had a much better half. – 5:54 PM

Even though the Hawks won by 10, they still very much escaped with this one. Spurs got as close as 99-93 and the Hawks held.

Wembanyama, Vassell and Tre Jones on the bench.
After that group forced a turnover on the first possession, the whole bench stood and clapped. – 4:43 PM

Tough half for the Spurs, down 69-34 to the Hawks.
One thing I’ve noticed about Wemby is he seems to be a great teammate. First guy off the bench to dap up teammates during timeouts. He’s also up and cheering constantly for guys when he’s on the bench. pic.twitter.com/tPKkqwwHiS – 4:30 PM

Paul Garcia: Wemby in 27 minutes: 26 points (all in second half), 13 rebounds, 2 steals, 5 blocks -via Twitter @PaulGarciaNBA / January 15, 2024
Jeff McDonald: Quin Snyder, asked about Victor Wembanyama’s growth since last meeting: “It’s his growth, but it’s also the growth of their team. Any time you have a player that unique and that talented, it takes other guys some time to get used to playing with him. You see that connectivity developing.” -via Twitter @JMcDonald_SAEN / January 15, 2024
“I think putting me at the 5 also gave me the opportunity to make [plays for] teammates more and to use me more for the team as a facilitator,” Wembanyama said. “So it’s something that’s worked pretty well lately.” -via ESPN / January 15, 2024
