The 7-foot-3 center hit the 200 mark for shots made from distance faster than some of the game's greatest snipers.
PHILADELPHIA — There was a time this season when questions abounded regarding Victor Wembanyama 's shot selection. What is a 7-foot-3 guy doing shooting so many 3s? Why doesn't he post up more? Why don't the Spurs coaches insist he operate in the paint and not the perimeter? But such talk has diminished recently, especially after Wembanyama hit 4 of 8 from deep in Saturday's 114-94 win over Portland to raise his career total for made 3s to 201.
'And once he does that, because he's so long with those steps and his strides, it's hard to not have incidental or more than incidental contact, I should say.' Bassey delivers while Collins looks on from bench Saturday marked the second game since Zach Collins came off the injured list after a lower back injury forced him to miss two games. It was also the second straight game in which the backup center was a healthy scratch. By now, it is clear it's a coaching decision.
