Wembanyama keeps impressive trend going as France reaches Olympic gold round

It's been a volatile Olympics for Victor Wembanyama on the offensive end of the floor. He was unstoppable early on in exhibition play, but you don't quite know what you'll get from San Antonio's big man right now. The Spurs star is now 6-27 from the field in his last two games. He was 5-11 against Germany three games ago, but even then it was difficult for him to get his points, as seven of his 11 shots were from long range.

Coming into these Olympics, the overwhelming belief was that Wemby would need to perform at a high level for this team to win. Those predictions were right and wrong at the same time. His teammates have stepped up in a major way, with several of them contributing double digits to the scoreboard, and even though Vic isn't putting the ball in the bucket, he's wreaking havoc in a myriad of other ways.

Wembanyama is never hangs his head

For a player so young, Wemby shows an advanced maturity, understanding that he doesn't have time to be depressed about missing shots. There are too many other ways to help your team win a ballgame to get hung up on what you can't control. The greatest shooters go into cold streaks that last days, weeks and occasionally months. What you can control is your effort and intensity. If you can play with a high IQ while providing those assets, your impact can be massive.

He orchestrated the offense, came up with clutch defensive plays and drilled a big three in the fourth quarter. In each game he struggles offensively, Wembanyama still ends up being one of the best players on the court based on his defense and activity. It's a trait the Spurs will lean on for years to come and is sure to translate to many championships.
