In a few weeks, Victor Wembanyama will discover life with Chris Paul, which may make him see the game in a new way.

But the point guard is 39 years old, it won’t last. Gilbert Arenas has therefore given the name of the one who would have been perfect to support the young tricolor.

After a first season of adaptation during which he showed all his qualities, Victor Wembanyama will evolve in a better quality squad.

Aware that they have a unique player in their ranks, the management has been busy finding him new teammates who know how to evolve with a superstar of this caliber.

Harrison Barnes was a Warrior at the beginning of the dynasty, so he experienced life with Stephen Curry, before a short stint in Dallas and 49 games alongside Luka Doncic.

And what about Chris Paul, who is not only one of the best point guards in history, but who is also responsible for James Harden’s best years with the Rockets?

Victor Wembanyama and James Harden, a lethal duo in the NBA
With these two recruits, the Spurs should take a step forward in their results and get closer to the Top 10, or even better.

But this is only a short-term solution, since the leader is already 39 years old… In his show, Gilbert Arenas asked himself a simple question: who would be the best duo to accompany the young Frenchman to the top:

Assistant to the Blues, Pascal Donnadieu cashes in on Team USA: “They have a very small…

Personally, I really like the idea of ​​this duo between Trae Young and Victor Wembanyama… Or else, I know it’s too late in his career, but Victor Wembanyama with James Harden! That would have been completely crazy! Harden easily averaged 11 assists in his best seasons.

On pick-&-roll that would have been crazy.

We must remember that James Harden made Clint Capela a star in the NBA. Between the alley oops and their pick-&-roll game, they would have both been excellent.

Afterwards, I am less sure with a current point guard like Ja Morant. We do not know what he is worth in passing. It is Ja who will recover the alley oops, we do not know if he can send them.

According to Gilbert Arenas, the perfect pairing for Victor Wembanyama would have been a young James Harden, capable of giving him good balls and creating space for him by attracting defenses to him.

And then, the Frenchman would also be there to fill the defensive gaps displayed by the Bearded Man. Let’s hope he will one day find a partner of this caliber.

Victor Wembanyama, because he is a dominant interior, will need a high-quality point guard/guard at his side to reach the top.

Hopefully he finds his Kobe Bryant or Magic Johnson, like Shaq and Kareem.
