The latest Wemby media session in the mixed zone, this time after France was handled by Germany (85-71) en route to its first loss in three tries. Both teams are already in the quarterfinals that tip off on Tuesday, but the reigning FIBA World Cup champs showed out in a big way. pic.twitter.com/3bhsszA1b4 – 7:00 PM

Victor Wembanyama’s summer team isn’t allowed to trade Rudy Gobert to Finland for Lauri Markkanen. As far as we know, there’s no Christophe Paul on the way.
If Wemby wants to win a medal next week, he has no choice but to seek improvement from within. expressnews.com/sports/spurs/a… – 6:14 PM

France coach Vincent Collet on Victor Wembanyama in Germany loss: “He stopped the ball too much. Against that kind of aggressiveness, you can’t play that way. You are never 1-on-1 because they come to double team and there’s no space to operate. It’s important to move the ball.” – 5:24 PM

Moritz Wagner on his brother Franz posterizing Wemby:
“If he has a bad game, he’ll definitely watch it on YouTube at night.” – 5:16 PM

“We got to trust our coaching more, trust our teammates more, do things that aren’t on the stat sheet,” France forward @wemby after loss to Germany. – 4:54 PM

Barring a Team USA loss to Puerto Rico tomorrow, it’s hard to come up with a scenario in which France doesn’t get stuck playing Canada in the quarterfinals.
For Wembanyama, that is … not optimal. He might not get more than one game in Paris. – 4:37 PM
Chuck Cooperstein @coopmavs
The French inability to run any offense that winds up with Wembanyama in position to get a good shot is a complete indictment of the French guards and of the French coaching staff – 4:09 PM

Germany men’s basketball 48, France 27 and getting booed at halftime. Wemby 4 points. Schroder 15, Franz 16. – 3:58 PM

French NBA rookies await their turn on Olympic team. Victor Wembanyama sat out World Cup in 2023, now plays in Olympics; NBA top two picks Zaccharie Risacher and Alexandre Sarr look to 2028. bit.ly/4diwv5o – 3:57 PM

Quarterfinals won’t be firmed up until tomorrow, but the way things stand:
If France beats Germany by more than 4 today, good chance Wemby gets Giannis and Greece (or maybe South Sudan).
If France loses or wins close, it could get Serbia, Australia or (with a loss) Canada. – 1:56 PM
During a recent interview on Yahoo Sports, Tony Parker gave his take on how he sees Victor Wembanyama’s Spurs career ending up. “There’s nothing I can tell him. He’s ready. . .He’s not bothered by the pressure or the expectations, he’s a little like LeBron [James]. The only one that can compare with so much expectation before he arrived is LeBron James,” Parker said. “Victor, the way he played his rookie season with the Spurs, he was unbelievable. So I hope it translates with a lot of championships for the Spurs, and I hope it will translate with a lot of medals for French basketball.” -via Clutch Points / August 2, 2024
