Despite starting the 2024/25 NBA season relatively well, winning 4 out of their first 9 games, San Antonio Spurs is not enjoying a positive image of Victor Wembanyama. Especially on offense, the French player is not looking comfortable.
Wembanyama is averaging 17.7 points. He has made 14 out of 62 (22.6%) three-pointers this season and 41% shooting from the field. These are not remarkable numbers for an NBA franchise star, and the Spurs are noticing it.
To make matters worse, an anonymous NBA scout has made statements to ESPN criticizing the 2023 NBA Draft number 1 pick: "He is absolutely impressive on defense and has no impact on offense. He just seems to play without much direction."
The heavy load of games may be one of the reasons for Wembanyama's inconsistency. It's worth noting that after playing 71 games last season with San Antonio, the Frenchman had a very intense run to the Paris Olympics, where he reached the final.
