In a recent episode of the Roommates Podcast, New York Knicks guards Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart discussed the impressive skills of San Antonio Spurs forward Victor Wembanyama. Initially skeptical of head coach Tom Thibodeau's claims about Wembanyama's shooting prowess, the duo recalled how they were informed that the rookie was taking around 14 to 15 three-pointers per game.
Hart humorously reflected on their disbelief, suggesting that Thibodeau often exaggerates opponents' abilities to keep the team focused. However, during a matchup where the Spurs faced the Knicks, Wembanyama shot an astonishing 16 three-pointers, a game the Spurs ultimately lost 117-114, despite Mikal Bridges scoring 41 points for New York.
Hart further analyzed Wembanyama’s shooting range, comparing him to the likes of Kristaps Porzingis and highlighting his ability to make shots well beyond the arc, which significantly stretches the court for the opposition.
