“I Didn’t See Any Developed Skill”: Carmelo Anthony Questions Victor Wembanyama After the Worst Scoring Night of His Career in Season Debut

Carmelo Anthony questioned Victor Wembanyama's offseason development following the San Antonio Spurs star's difficult offensive showing in a 116-104 season-opening loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. Speaking on his 7 PM in Brooklyn podcast, Anthony stated that he did not see any developed skill set in Wembanyama's offensive approach during the game. Wembanyama struggled offensively, converting just one field goal on 13 attempts.

Anthony suggested that Wembanyama needs to establish reliable, traditional interior moves to complement his perimeter game when jump shots fail to fall. Despite his scoring difficulties, Wembanyama recorded 12 points, 13 rebounds, and six blocks in the contest. Wembanyama acknowledged his struggles after the game, admitting he was not decisive and may have been overthinking his shot selection.
