A veteran in the league, DeMar DeRozan has seen a lot of talent come and go since his arrival in 2009.
However, when it came to focusing on the Victor Wembanyama case, he admitted to having made a gesture that was a priori inconceivable for a scorer of his rank.
In journalistic jargon, this could be considered a chestnut.
Articles on statements by NBA stars regarding Victor Wembanyama have now become commonplace for media specializing in league news.
It must be said that the French center has continued to impress since his debut across the Atlantic, including against the best players in the circuit.
DeMar DeRozan’s crazy attitude towards Victor Wembanyama
In the space of a few months, Wembanyama has proven that the hype surrounding him is not undeserved.
His performances at the Paris Olympics served as further proof of this and were recently praised by DeMar DeRozan.
The latter did not actually wait for this to get a clear idea of his potential, as he recounts in the Club 520 Podcast:
DeMar DeRozan: When you look him straight in the eye, you know he’s going to be one of the very best. That’s for sure.
Needless to say, the French international has already made a strong impression on his elder, who even made an unnatural choice on the court against him last season:

DeMar DeRozan: When we faced the Spurs, I swear I could have made a drive and finished with an easy layup, but I didn’t take it because he was on the other side of the racket. I stopped and took the ball out.
Even though he was on the other side, I knew he had enough wingspan to be able to make a damn block, no matter what I tried.
At 2m24 and thanks to his 2m43 wingspan, Wemby is indeed capable of blocking a shot, even from a seemingly prohibitive position.
DMDR clearly knows something about it and therefore decided to pass up the opportunity to score a layup that he would have tried in any other circumstance.
This is understandable after all, knowing that he has already paid the price for Victor’s arm length:
As a simple rookie, Victor Wembanyama therefore signed the performance of dissuading DeMar DeRozan from taking a seemingly open layup.
Proof that the deterrence brought by the French prodigy to the Spurs really has no equal in the NBA.
