French basketball prodigy Victor Wembanyama says he hopes to lead the San Antonio Spurs back to the NBA playoffs as he prepares for his first season in the league.
Wembanyama, regarded as a generational talent who was chosen by the Spurs in June with the No.1 pick in the NBA Draft, is dreaming of making an instant impact at his new club.
San Antonio last played in the postseason in the 2018-2019 campaign, losing in the first round to the Denver Nuggets. Wembanyama, who was speaking to journalists on Monday, Sept. 18, during an online press conference to preview the documentary"Un1que" on the Canal+ French network, said he feels no pressure despite the hype that has surrounded his arrival in the NBA.
"When you have such high goals it's normal that there is so much attention, questions, invasive people."
