Despite recent success from deep, Victor Wembanyama remains focused on his long-term goals. In a post-game interview on Saturday night, the Frenchman shared that he’s not concerned with his current shooting percentage. He believes that as long as he keeps taking quality shots, success will follow. Wemby's now shooting 42% on wide open 3s.His amount of 3s being attempted wide open has quickly gone down after he's been shooting better in the last few games. ⬇️ https://t.co/l95PY3byeD pic.twitter.com/70qpwPHglo— Paul Garcia (@PaulGarciaNBA) November 13, 2024 In fact, according to Paul Garcia’s shot breakdown, the 20-year-old is now hitting 43% of his open three-pointers—a remarkable achievement that’s forcing teams to rethink their defensive strategies against Wemby and the Spurs. Il a ajouté lorsque je lui ai demandé s’il avait cherché son inspiration chez Chris Paul : « On sait tous que c’est un professionnel de ça ». https://t.co/oAyjAvQcNS— Maxime Aubin (@MaximeAubin1) November 12, 2024 However, Wembanyama isn’t solely focused on shooting. After the Spurs’ win on Monday night against the Sacramento Kings, he mentioned that he’s working on drawing more fouls by using his body more effectively. With increasing NBA experience, he’s finding his footing in this area. He also noted how valuable it is to have Chris Paul—one of the best ever at drawing fouls—as a teammate. Mastering the art of drawing fouls is a skill that NBA superstars often prioritize. Currently, Wemby is drawing 5.2 fouls per game, compared to Giannis Antetokounmpo’s 7.8. Though it takes time, Wembanyama is expected to keep improving, adding this ability to his already impressive arsenal.

According to Spurs reporter Maxime Aubin, the veteran guard was spotted doing a Duolingo session before the game on Saturday night. Paul reportedly hopes to learn enough French to interact with fans by the time the Spurs play the Indiana Pacers in Paris at the end of January 2025.

Most people can’t pull off a backheel or “around the world” while juggling a soccer ball. His freakish talents clearly extend beyond basketball! ⚽️ Ça régale ! @Wemby x @Spurs pic.twitter.com/6hvJSk9qB1— NBA France (@NBAFRANCE) November 5, 2024 Wembanyama’s defensive metrics, courtesy of BBall Index, showcase his defensive dominance. Unsurprisingly, he’s in the 100th percentile for rim protection!

But on Monday night, he made an incredible block against Domantas Sabonis. The speed of his second jump to block Sabonis was nothing short of amazing.
