The NBA Draft is just 10 days away and San Antonio Spurs fans are likely counting down the days until their team presumably selects top prospect Victor Wembanyama with the No. 1 pick. Right now though, Metropolitan 92 is looking to the 7-foot-5 French star to help them win a championship.
That pursuit got off to a slow start, and Wembanyama flipped a switch Monday. He recorded 19 points, seven rebounds, four assists, two steals and three rebounds In Game 2 of France’s Betclic Elite LNB Pro A Finals. But it wasn't enough to prevent Metropolitan 92 from losing 95-88 and falling to a 2-0 series deficit.
In Game 1 on Saturday, Wembanyama scored just eight points on 3-of-8 shooting as the team was blown out 87-64. On Monday, he had eight points by half time. That turnaround was crucial for Metropolitan 92's more competitive showing. His production stalled a bit as the half went on, a testament to Monaco's more experienced roster. Wembanyama had 4 turnovers and three fouls as a result of their pressure.
