San Antonio Spurs rookie Victor Wembanyama has received advice from NBA veteran Pau Gasol, who suggests the young player should prioritize playing closer to the basket. Gasol believes maximizing inside play will be key to Wembanyama’s success.
Pau Gasol says Victor Wembanyama should play inside more than outside. The former Los Angeles Lakers star offered his opinion on how the highly touted rookie can best utilize his unique skillset.
According to yahoo_sports, Gasol stated, “I think he should play inside more than outside.” This advice stems from a belief that Wembanyama’s size and abilities are most effective when leveraged near the basket. While Wembanyama possesses an impressive shooting range for his height, Gasol suggests focusing on dominating in the paint.
The reasoning behind this recommendation isn't explicitly detailed beyond the assertion itself; however, it implies a strategy of capitalizing on Wembanyama’s physical advantages over opponents when positioned closer to the basket.
