Wambanyama "Duncan is my idol, a dream come true"

 Wembanyama talks about being the No. 1 pick. 메이저사이트주소

 

The San Antonio Spurs selected Frenchman Victor Wembanyama with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft on Sunday (June 23) at Barclays Center in New York, New York.

 

It was a no-brainer. Wembanyama is a monster at 6-foot-9 with a 224-centimeter wingspan. He can also shoot the three-pointer and handle the ball well. He's already considered an immediate NBA force on defense, using his height to his advantage.

 

San Antonio was lucky to get Wembanyama in the first round. The last time the Spurs had the first overall pick in the draft was 16 years ago in 1997. The Spurs selected Tim Duncan, who went on to become one of the greatest players in San Antonio history, winning five NBA championships.

 

The Spurs are hoping that Wembanyama will be the kind of talent that will change the future of the team, just like Duncan. Wembanyama was well aware of the expectations. "I don't think I could have a better role model than Duncan, and I'm excited to be coached by Gregg Popovich," he said in a post-draft interview. 토토사이트

 

In Duncan, San Antonio now has an all-time great big man in Wembanyama. The question is, can Wembanyama be as big as San Antonio fans hope?

Bill Confirmed to Phoenix ... Forming a formidable BIG3

 The Phoenix Suns are adding to their already formidable BIG3.

 

"According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, the Suns have acquired Bradley Beal (guard, 191 cm, 94 kg) in a trade with the Washington Wizards.

 

Phoenix will receive Beal, Isaiah Todd (forward, 206 cm, 99 kg) and Jordan Goodwin (guard, 191 cm, 91 kg). Washington will receive from Phoenix Chris Paul (guard, 6-foot-9, 183 pounds), Landry Shermit (guard, 6-foot-9, 193 pounds), the right to exchange four first-round picks and six second-rounders.

Why the Suns?

Phoenix made the trade as expected. They added Beal while shedding Paul's contract. With Kevin Durant and Devin Booker on the roster, the role of point guard is relatively small. Paul is in his mid-30s, and his decline was somewhat evident last season. On top of that, he was sidelined with injuries in some of the biggest games.

 

This would be fine if Paul's contract was worth $18 million per year. But with only $15.8 million of the $30.8 million guaranteed, Phoenix didn't want to part with him. That's how the news of his release came about in the first place. It didn't result in a release, but it was a parting of the ways. Phoenix then finalized the deal with the rebuilding Wizards, who were looking to move on.

 

This gave the Wizards a formidable trio of Durant-Bill-Booker. It's unclear if they'll go their separate ways with DeAndre Ayton, but they've built a formidable force. You could almost call them Team USA. All three came together when they were at the top of their game, and Booker is still a young player in his mid-20s. If Aitken sticks around, they'll be sure to stay high. 토토사이트주소

 

Unlike the other BIG3, they can score from any position and any distance, and they're all in their prime. Durant is a bit of an old man, and he's not immune to injury risk. The same goes for Beal, but with Booker and Eaton, the pressure is off. The core of the team is solid enough to challenge for a championship in the upcoming 2023-2024 season.

Sangmyung University-Korea University match, moved from July 26 to July 4 at 3 p.m.

 The game between Sangmyung University and Korea University has been postponed from July 26 to July 4.

The Korean Collegiate Basketball Association announced on its website that the game between Sangmyung and KU has been rescheduled.

The game time was changed from 5 p.m. to 3 p.m. on July 16, which will remain the same. The game time was moved up by 오래된 토토사이트 two hours to allow for a smoother game as the teams head into their vacation period.

With most of the standings decided, the men's collegiate division has three games left to play. The last game was originally scheduled for the 28th, when Myongji and Yonsei faced off.

With the rescheduling, the match between Sangmyung and Korea University will be the final game of the regular season. July 4 will also be the final day of the women's college division, with Busan University and Ulsan University playing each other.

The reason for the change is that Korea University is short of players. Currently, KU does not have enough players for the U19 Basketball World Cup squad, as well as for the upcoming Universiade squad, which is scheduled to convene on July 26. In the announced roster of the national team, there are injured players and replacements are being selected, and it is reported that additional players from Korea University have been selected, making it difficult to organize the games.

The KUBA had planned to complete all schedules before the Universiade in consideration of the call-up of the national team, but as the training period increased from three to four weeks, it was inevitable to change the schedule.

This is the first time since 2010 that the men's collegiate team has played in July.

Currently, Korea University has clinched the regular season title with 13 wins, while Sangmyung University is in 11th place with 1 win and 12 losses. 메이저사이트

The women's collegiate match between Suwon University and Kangwon National University, scheduled for Aug. 28, has been moved from Suwon to Kangwon.

CP3 To Golden State, curry and one-pot meals!

 Chris Paul is headed to Golden State after being traded to Washington. He'll be joined by Steph Curry, one of the best shooters in the game.

"Washington sends Paul to Golden State for Jordan Poole, Ryan Rollins, a 2030 first-round pick (with top-20 protection) and a 2027 second-rounder," 안전놀이터 ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski said on Wednesday.

Paul, who joined Washington from Phoenix in the Bradley Beal trade, is headed to Golden State again. The Los Angeles Clippers and Los Angeles Lakers, both in need of a point guard, were also interested in Paul, but Washington is believed to be more interested in Golden State's pool card.

Paul is considered one of the unlucky stars to not have a championship ring. With Curry, Klay Thompson, Andrew Wiggins, and Draymond Green, Golden State is a championship-caliber team. While Green's future in free agency is up in the air, Paul can expect to win his first championship in Golden State. 메이저도메인

Paul, meanwhile, has two years left on his four-year, $12 million contract..

'Greatest talent of all time, surpassing Robinson and Duncan' NBA No. 1 Wembanyama "Greatest moment of my life...I'm going to lead the Spurs to a championship"

 The San Antonio Spurs have acquired the most talent of all time, surpassing Tim Duncan (47).

The 2023 NBA Draft was held on March 23 at the Barclays Center in New York City. With the No. 1 overall pick, San Antonio predictably selected French center Victor Wen-Banyama (19). At 6-foot-9, he is considered one of the greatest talents of all time, with the skill set to score from both inside and outside like Kevin Durant. 토토사이트 순위 No other player in history has ever been able to shoot a step-back 3-pointer so freely from over 220 centimeters.

After being selected first overall, Wembanyama said, "Words can't describe the feeling. This is the best moment of my life. It's a dream come true for a long time. The five minutes waiting for the pick couldn't have been longer. When I shook hands and hugged Adam Silver, it felt real."

San Antonio drafted David "Admiral" Robinson with the first pick in 1987. In 1997, they selected Tim Duncan to start a dynasty once again. With their lucky pick, San Antonio once again succeeded in acquiring the best talent since LeBron James in 2003.  

Wembanyama said, "My message to Spurs fans is 100 percent clear. I'm going to do everything in my power to lead this team to a championship." 토토사이트

One of the greatest coaches of all time, Gregg Popovich, was also motivated to come out of retirement. "Wembanyama has both intellect and emotion. He knows what he's capable of. It's my responsibility to develop him to the expectations that people want. He's a player who doesn't need a lot of advice."

Wembanyama is expected to make his debut at Summer League in Sacramento starting on July 4. "I had a couple phone calls with him, that's all," Popovich said. I'm confident that he'll be able to communicate with the staff that's been teaching him his whole life."

"He's not going to be the next Kobe or LeBron, he's going to be Victor and no one else. That's what we want," Popovich said, marking the birth of a new superstar.

'King of the Cavaliers' Chris Paul trades to Warriors: "I'm excited to play with Curry"

 Two of the NBA's best point guards will be on the court at the same time.

The Golden State Warriors have agreed to a trade to acquire Chris Paul from the Washington Wizards in exchange for Jordan Poole, a second-round pick in 2027 and a first-round pick in 2030, ESPN reported on Wednesday. Paul, who left Phoenix in the Bradley Beal trade on Nov. 19, found a new team just four days later. 안전놀이터추천

The super-combo of two of the best point guards in the game, Steph Curry and Chris Paul, is now on the same team. "I talked to Curry," Paul told the Charlotte Observer shortly after the trade. I'm really excited to play with him," he said.

With 21,755 career points, Chris Paul ranks third among active guards behind James Harden (24,693) and Russell Westbrook (24,457). However, Paul is no stranger to championships. He led Phoenix to the 2021 Finals, but they were swept by Milwaukee in four games. Curry is fourth with 21,712 points but has four championship rings. 메이저사이트

Paul averaged 13.9 points and 8.9 assists in 59 games last season. Paul may be past his prime, but his game is still top-notch. Paul will be looking for his first championship as Curry's backup in his 19th season.
