Mitchell Robinson made sure Victor Wembanyama did not have a grand MSG debut.

“I think Mitch did a great job just understanding what Wemby likes to do, making it difficult for him,” Jalen Brunson said. “It’s the NBA. It’s really hard to stop people one-on-one. But I think Mitch did a great job of trying to make everything difficult for him. The whole team did. We tried to show him bodies. Obviously, he can see over everybody. We just tried to make it difficult for him.”
Popovich coached Tim Duncan, who was the NBA’s best player for a few years but had zero interest in marketing himself as the face of the NBA.So where does Wembanyama fall in the Duncan-to-LeBron personality spectrum?
