>**Q :** “I was talking about you with Rudy Gobert in the locker room just now, your relationship, and he told me how much he loved talking with you about deep stuff, he told me about your diner yesterday, he told be about subjects like philosophy for example, and that he found that impressive at your young age. How much are you interested in that ? Are there authors or schools of thought that you’re interested in ?”
>
>**W :** “So… Yeah, it’s true that.. Rudy is a person with who it is easy for me to open up and talk about deep subjects. But let’s say that I like to reflect and to do things… how to say that? With meaning. But I’m far from being an expert in philosophy, even though there are some school of thoughts that I like.”

​

>**Q :** “What do you take from Rudy’s game ? You’ve probably watched a lot of NBA players, but did you learn stuff from him, from his game, what inspires you ?”
>
>**W :** “What should absolutely be taken from Rudy’s game, for me, is his defensive presence. He’s really tall, but he seems… He uses his height and wingspan so well that he seems even taller than players taller than him but less agile, less aerial and less reactive on the blocks. So it’s really this intimidation that is important for me.”

​

>**Q :** “In the locker room Rudy was looking at your jersey that you gave him, he said this one he was going to frame and hang in his house, will you do the same ?”
>
>**W :** “Of course, it has value.” –*(in french we just say “value” for both “price value” and “sentimental value”, is there a better word in english ?)–*

  1. We gotta draft Zaccharie Risacher with the Raptors pick if he falls. Get Wemby another Frenchman

    Also he’s a great perimeter defender which we sorely need

  2. Something is funny about victor saying that gobert is “really tall”, even if it’s a fact. Also, there aren’t many active nba players who are taller than gobert besides wemby himself, porzingis, and boban, so that was also funny.
