Spurs new player inside: Wenban Yama will dominate the league soon, defense is our biggest advantage

The San Antonio Spurs held a media day event for the new season. The team's new inside player Luke Kornet also accepted an interview with the media after training, and in the interview, he talked about inside teammate Victor Wembanyama and the team's defense.

When talking about Vinbanyama, Connett said: Vinbanyama can do something very incredible, and his performance in professional attitude and concentration in the game, as well as his efforts to go further, all impressed me. He has incredible talents and potential, and he is still improving. Coupled with his professional attitude, his future is simply immeasurable. Now it's only a matter of time for him to get on track, and he should be able to rule the league soon. Next, Connet talked about the team's defense, and continued: Defense is definitely the feature of us in building this team, and it is also the key to whether the fast break can be successfully completed. Obviously, we have some excellent defensive players, such as Vinban Yama, who are the most important ones. They can provide a lot of help and support to the team on the defensive end and create huge trouble for the opponents. These are our biggest advantages. In my opinion, the intensity of the defensive end will really determine how we perform in each game. With these excellent teammates, I am full of confidence in our defensive abilities.

In the NBA regular season last season, Connet made a total of 73 appearances in 82 games, averaging 18.6 minutes per game, with averaging 6 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.5 steals and 1 block, and 0.4 turnovers and 1.6 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 66.8% and a free throw percentage of 69.1%. In the playoffs, Cornet made a total of 11 appearances, averaging 16.4 minutes per game, with averaging 4.5 points, 3.9 rebounds, 0.5 assists, 1.2 blocks, and 0.5 turnovers and 1.8 fouls. His shooting percentage was 72.4%, and his free throw percentage was 100%.

According to previous news, Connett received a large contract from the Spurs for a period of 41 million yuan. Considering that Connett was just a player with a basic salary contract before, being able to get such a contract also shows that the Spurs are very optimistic about his ability, and they also have high hopes for him. With the arrival of Cornet, Vinban Yama also has a reliable substitute, and the Spurs' lineup depth has also been further improved. I wonder what kind of performance Cornet, who has won the big contract in the new NBA arena in the new season, can he prove that he is worthy of the contract given to him by the Spurs?
