Sam Mitchell, a former NBA player and coach, has nothing but love for rookie wonder Victor Wembanyama of the San Antonio Spurs. He anticipates the budding star winning several MVP and Defensive Player of the Year (DPOY) titles in the future.
In an NBA TV broadcast, Mitchell made a daring prediction, expressing his conviction in Wembanyama’s extraordinary skills on both sides of the court and projecting unheard-of success in the upcoming years.
Sam Mitchell’s statement on Victor Wembanyama
Sam Mitchell was quite confident on Victor Wembanyama and his future. He said,
“What we’re about to see in the next 2 or 3 years, we’re about to see the MVP and the Defensive Player of the Year all rolled into one. He’s going to win that award two or three times, combined both of them,”
“He can block shots and get to things that you don’t think is possible… And then offensively… Once that gets cemented in his mind that he can get a quality shot anytime he wants, it’s over because there’s nothing you can do defensively. He can move his feet. He can guard guards.”
