In a promising sign of things to come, the NBA Rookie of the Year was all smiles after powerful dunks with both hands in a 96-46 rout of Turkey on Wednesday night. He looked slick as he scored a game-high 24 points and grabbed six rebounds in front of a sold-out crowd of around 5,500 in Rouen. It was the first of six warmup matches for France heading into the July 26-Aug. 11 Games. "Victor played a 'Wemby game.' He was imposing in defense and varied things in attack. It's something we've never really known before in the France team," captain Nicolas Batum said. "It's a great asset for us, one we will be able to use in many situations." The 20-year-old San Antonio Spurs star combined well with veteran Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert in their first outing together for France. The 32-year-old Gobert was named the NBA Defensive Player of the Year for a record-tying fourth time, with Wembanyama second in the voting. "There's still work to be done," Batum said, looking ahead to the Olympics. "But when you have two greats [Wembanyama and Gobert], it helps a lot." There was also some impressive defense from Washington Wizards rookie guard Bilal Coulibaly. France lost 87-82 to the United States in the gold medal game at the Tokyo Olympics, but hopes are high that coach Vincent Collet's side can win gold at home. France is considered among the strongest teams alongside the U.S, Canada, Serbia and world champion Germany. Last week, Wembanyama was asked about the prospect of another France-U.S. final, against the likes of LeBron James and Stephen Curry. "I can't wait to face them. It will be a very interesting matchup," Wembanyama said in Paris. "As a basketball player, it's also a dream to play against Team USA and even against all those players, all those legends." France's first Group B opponent at the Olympics will be the winner of the last qualifying tournament later this week. It then plays Japan and Germany in the 12-team field, held in the northern city of Lille. French basketball is enjoying immense popularity on the back of Wembanyama's meteoric rise and the emergence of new talents. This year's top two NBA draft picks are French -- Zaccharie Risacher (Atlanta Hawks) and Alexandre Sarr (Wizards) -- with Tidjane Salaun drafted No. 6 by the Charlotte Hornets. France joined the United States as the only countries with three players drafted in the top 10 picks of an NBA draft. Pacome Dadiet (New York Knicks) and Melvin Ajinca (Dallas Mavericks) made it five Frenchmen selected overall. 00001 Louis Vuitton Spring 2024 Menswear Credit Gorunway 771047 Fashion Week Paris Le Programme Des Defiles Haute Couture Automne Hiver 2023 Paris Mens TAW 2024 133 DOCUMENT PARIS MENS FW24 Fullbleed Fashion Header 1024x512 2087E20D F526 4C03 9B3E 32C22876B9CB 1024x1024 ?v=1688051016 Givenchy Menswear Spring Summer 2024 Paris Fashion Week Runway 001 Jimin Paris Fashion Week 2023 Billboard 1548 1 B9D5KkPtft7pypzgtsCtSN 97247979.cms 00002 Louis Vuitton Spring 2024 Menswear Credit Gorunway Paris Fashion Week Best Dressed Celebrities F3e0406d5505cb812b28faa904abfcf8 DOCUMENT PARIS MENS FW24 13 LOEWE FW23 33 LOUIS VUITTON MENS SPRING SUMMER 2024 BACKSTAGE 14 Scaled Paris Fashion Week 1 5a21720c78a044e48ce4c72509987d1c 1000 X 1000 8 2 DOCUMENT PARIS MENS FW24 8 WfnyMIb0 Mens Fashion Week Trends 2023 DOCUMENT PARIS MENS FW24 18 DIOR FW23 60 730x487 832423 Paris Fashion Week Le Programme Provisoire Des Defiles De Mode Masculine Automne Hiver 2023 2024 Paris Fashion Week Mens Photo Defile Balmain Fashion Week Paris Numero Magazine12 0 0 Capture Decran 2022 06 21 A 11 38 46 1080x675 1447567270 Fbf5d415 8a37 41d1 Ab7c 2e54279035e8 Getty 1430441082 ?w=374&h=561&fit=crop&crop=faces&auto=format%2Ccompress 5501c12f40f73f7991cead3408f4098e 00 Story%2520(1) Tt38v6hCcJmasvgSK6ESAP Robert Pattinson Dior Paris Mens Fashion Week 2023 Ss 230120101836 02 Paris Fashion Week Top Moments So Far Super Tease
