Victor Wembanyama (C) vs. Stephen Curry (PG)
The Spurs’ new center Victor Wembanyama can boast about this year’s game as a real revolution. The stats alone speak volume with 20.7 points and 10.3 boards per game undoubtedly confirming its contribution on the court. His ability to properly clog the paint offensively, giving him an average of 3.4 blocks per game, is what makes Wembanyama one of the NBAs’ mightiest vertical tournament participants. On the other hand, his number of turnovers (3.5 per game) and his tendency to commit fouls might slow him down in that role, which highlights the importance of discipline for him.
Stephen Curry probably played a disguising role, however, he is still the organiser behind every victory of the Warriors. Stepping up to the occasion averaging 27.1 points per game, with a whopping 5 assists /3 turnovers ratio, his utmost shepherding is the key to Golden State’s result in a positive light. Wightman’s shooting from the perimeter poses a big threat to opponents, while defensive rebounding and steal rates indicate below-Wembanyama’s, so the Spurs seem to be a team, which can take advantage here.
While Wembanyama and Curry match up on the court in style, it will show the contrast of a true post player with a 3-point sharpshooter. Wembanyama’s foresight to change shots and overwhelm the rims will be an important battle to keep, while Curry’s shooting and organising daintily will protect the Spurs from him on the perimeter.
