‘He's basically Wilt’ - Harper hails Wembanyama after career highs of 52 points and 24 rebounds

When Vic was sitting in that seat just now, we were telling him how he just put up like a stat line, only Will Chamberlain has had. He basically will. I mean, basically will. He probably won't say it, but that's greatness. I mean, I think for him to be not so young, he's older than me, but for him to be. Maybe. Yeah, but for him to be that old and just his mindset to go into every game and just dominate, dominate, dominate is unlike anyone else I've seen. The way he prepares to take care of his body is one of none, and I feel like he expects that of himself every night. And, you know, if he wants that, we're all going to hold him to that standard. If I got blocked three times in a row, I feel like I'd be pretty upset. But obviously that's Vic. He takes pride on the defensive side, and things like that are just natural to him. Yeah, I think we want Victor to impose his will on the paint and the rim every time. I mean, I think everyone knows what the ripple effects are for us or for the opponents when he does that. There are times when defenses schematically or personnel-wise make a concerted effort to take that away, and so then there's times that we have to make decisions and have the basketball fight elsewhere, but he did a great job of imposing his will tonight.
