Victor Wembanyama has shown an eagerness to improve in all facets of his game. Wembanyama worked on his dribbling and pull-up three with Jamal Crawford. Gregg Popovich has worked with Wembanyama on the “The Nowitzki spots” on the wings and high post, as well as pick-and-rolls as both a ballhandler and a screener.
“For me, it’s the only solution,” Wembanyama said in a profile with Sports Illustrated. “Expanding my game is not thinking twice when you want to do something crazy. I don’t think I’ve had one game where I really applied everything. Not one. I want eventually to have a wide variety of tools that I’ve really mastered. I don’t want to have a role on the court. I don’t want to be the shot blocker. I don’t want to be the scorer. I don’t want to be the playmaker. I want to be all of this at once.”
Popovich estimates Wembanyama worked with eight to 10 different Spurs coaches this summer.
