Slovenian Luka Doncic, star of the Dallas Mavericks, acknowledged on Wednesday that he does not remember a rookie who played as well as Frenchman Victor Wembanyama in his debut after Dallas‘ hard-fought win over the San Antonio Spurs in their NBA opener.
Wembanyama, the first overall pick in this year’s draft and considered a generational talent, debuted with 15 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and a block in 23 minutes on the court.
“He was fantastic, I told him, he played very well for his first game. I don’t remember a rookie playing his first game like that,” Doncic said after the game.
“I remember my first game, I was nervous. He didn’t seem nervous to me, he played great.”
