Victor Wembanyama on playing with Dylan Harper

The preseason matchup was phenomenal as the two teams were inseparable after four quarters. The Spurs ultimately walked away with a 134-130 overtime win.

After the game, Spurs’ Victor Wembanyama shared his honest thoughts on Harper’s preseason debut for the team.

“It’s great. It’s been a while, he’s been back at practice for a few days but it’s good to be on the court with him,” Wembanyama said after the game.

He added: “He looks ready, very comfortable, already throwing me passes. I’m very confident and very happy to be able to be on the court with him.”

In his debut, Harper played 18 minutes while recording 9 points and 3 assists. Considering he returned from an injury, it was a stellar performance by the Spurs rookie.

Dylan Harper makes ‘flip your brain’ admission about playing with Victor Wembanyama

The Harper-Wembanyama duo has a shot at becoming something special for the Spurs in the future. But for that to happen, the two stars need to develop chemistry.

Following his first game with Wemby, Harper made an admission about learning to play with a star who is 7’4″.

“I should’ve [thrown] higher, a lot higher. It’s weird. Ain’t no one ever played with someone that tall. You get out there. You throw it up and you think you threw it too high.

“But then he catches it and you’re like, ‘It’s a little too low.’ When you throw it to him you have to flip your brain,” Harper admitted.

Being the French phenom’s teammate isn’t as easy as it looks, but Harper seems keen to adjust his game to be a better fit alongside Wembanyama.
