In an interview with Le Progrès, the president of Asvel returned Sunday to the choice of "Wemby" to leave the Villeurbannais club last summer to join Vincent Collet in Boulogne-Levallois. "I respect his choice, but I will always have the small regret that he did not stay with us, because I'm sure we could have hung a Euroleague Top 8 and started dreaming with him," says "TP".

"The Euroleague would have prepared him well, like Doncic"

While the Villeurbannais club is the red lantern of the flagship European competition two days from the end (8 wins and 24 losses), Victor Wembanyama does not play in any European Cup this season, before making the big jump to the NBA. This pushes Tony Parker to a criticism of this choice.

The regret is that I don't know if he has really improved this season and if he is really having fun playing only one game a week. The Euroleague would have prepared him well for next season, as would Luka Doncic, who won it with Real Madrid. That's what I wish Victor had done. »



If the analysis of the former Spurs point guard is understood, it is difficult not to talk about progress for the 2.21 m player, who has exploded all his statistics in Betclic Elite this season, with an average of 21 points, 9.7 rebounds and 3.2 blocks (25.2 rating) in 32 minutes to the Mets, against 9.4 points, 5.1 rebounds and 1.8 blocks (11.5 rating) in 18 minutes during a year 2021-2022 certainly truncated by injuries to Asvel. Victor Wembayama also made his debut in the blue jersey this season, with 19 points and 8.25 rebounds in his first four selections. The great revelation of the NBA will quickly tell us if this choice to be the absolute leader in Boulogne-Levallois was the most relevant choice of his young career.
