Anthony Davis praises Wimpanyama after the match: “He showed why he was the No. 1 pick” | NBA

Last Wednesday night, Victor Wimpanyama and Anthony Davis put on a show for NBA basketball fans. The stars acted in the same situation, and appeared throughout the match with moves befitting the numbers each of them achieved in the match: Wemby finished the match with 30 points, 10 rebounds, 6 blocks and 3 steals. Davis scored 37 points, 10 rebounds, and 4 steals. Moreover, each of them performed the “dunk” on top of the other, which is the famous “sticker”. In the end, the Lakers came away with a narrow victory, 122 to 119, at the Frost Bank Center gym in San Antonio, Texas.

This was the first time Wimpanyama faced the Lakers and Anthony Davis – and the injured LeBron did not play in the game. The Los Angeles No. 3 jersey made it clear that he appreciates the young player and offered advice about the Frenchman’s future in the NBA.

– He is very talented, and scores from all three levels of the pitch, as we saw today. He’s been talked about a lot since his time overseas, when he joined the league and now. The team loses a lot, but they play very well because they are able to keep their team in games, they play very good basketball. He showed why he is the No. 1 pick and candidate for Rookie of the Year – he commented.

As Davis commented, the San Antonio Spurs have lost a lot this season, with a negative record of 3 wins and 20 losses, which is the worst team in the Western Conference of the NBA, three games behind the Memphis Grizzlies. However, Wimpy has high averages for any player, especially one in his first year. There are 19.3 points per game, 10.7 rebounds and 3 blocks per game. Furthermore, the youngster commented on Davis in a post-match press conference.

– It was a great experience. He’s someone I’ve studied quite a bit in the past. He said: A great player, of course, and I am happy to be able to play against him several times.

It won’t be long before it happens again, as the Lakers and Spurs will face each other on Friday, December 15, once again in San Antonio, at the Frost Bank Center gym, starting at 9:30 PM Brasilia time.
