According to JJ Redick, who recently appeared on 7PM in Brooklyn with Carmelo Anthony & Kid Mero, explained why Victor Wembanyama was not one of them.

"The stories I've heard coming out of the [San Antonio] Spurs camp like even early in the season," Redick said. "There was a Drake concert in Austin [Texas] and [Victor Wembanyama] got asked to come up on stage cause Drake was doing that with a bunch of NBA guys.

And Wemby was like 'Can my teammates come up on stage with me cause they're gonna be at the concert with me?' And Drake's camp was like 'no' and he's like 'then I don't want to do it. What 19-year-old kid doesn’t want to go up on stage with Drake?" Redick wondered.

The NBA Rookie of the Year frontrunner hadn’t even played any preseason games for the San Antonio Spurs when the alleged incident happened.

Redick claimed that Wembanyama stands out for his mind and his work ethic.

"I've never met a 19-year-old that was wired that way at that age. He's incredible. I love that you differentiate between just the size and the skill. But what he has in his heart and mind," Redick said.
