Wembanyama: “I want to win MVP and Defensive Player of the Year”

Victor Wembanyama continues to put on a show on both ends of the floor, as he did in the San Antonio Spurs win over the Charlotte Hornets.

He finished with 32 points, 12 rebounds, 4 blocks and 8 assists. The French phenom thinks that his Playmaking is a skill that is often overlooked:

“It’s one more weapon… My playmaking most of the time happens by rolling and not even touching the ball, getting guys open by my positioning with my gravity. But I can do that, too.”

Wembanyama also revealed he has two major goals for the last part of the regular season.

“Right now, in my mind, it’s about taking great care of my body because I want to win MVP and Defensive Player of the Year. So I’m trying to push the accelerator from now until the end of the season.”

The reference to his body is no coincidence, as the 22-year-old Spurs star cannot miss more than three of the remaining 15 games if he wants to remain eligible for the league’s individual awards.
