To no surprise, Barclays Center was packed on Friday night, as the Brooklyn Nets hosted the San Antonio Spurs. What better holiday present than a ticket to see Victor Wembanyama during his annual trip to New York City, especially following his 42-point performance on Christmas Day at Madison Square Garden, not quite a coming out party, but another flashpoint on his inevitable climb to all-time greatness?
Wembanyama generally does not process what’s happening on defense yet; he does not do his work early, he is often unaware of cutters unless they dare to cut in front of his face.
